  You can't talk to me like that, boss
G              Cadd9
  I don't care who you are
G                            Cadd9
If you don't want to have to hang your own dry wall
G          Cadd9
Don't push me too far

Boomtown work ain't hard to come by

Boomtown   workers are
D                Cadd9           G
You might be the one running the show but

That don't mean you're in charge
 
[Chorus]
      G                      Cadd9
I was looking for a job when I found this one
G                        Cadd9
Don't need the work like you need the work done

   I'm sharing a room with two guys over at the Motel 6, boss
G                                      Cadd9
Sending every dime I make here home to my ex-wife
G                        Cadd9
  Just did two years and 28 days
        G                            Cadd9
With a little better aim I'd been in there for my life
            D           Cadd9     G
So you see, broke won't take much getting used to
D              Cadd9      G
Neither will a barb wire jail house wall
D              Cadd9  G
Watch what you say to someone with nothing
     Cadd9                 D
It's almost like having it all
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
      G                      Cadd9
I was looking for a job when I found this one
G                        Cadd9
Don't need the work like you need the work done
G             Cadd9
You look like you're under pressure
G                           Cadd9                        G
I was already looking for a job two weeks ago when I met you, remember?

Thanks for whoever posted this tab. I just told my boss to f-off and now he’s in a bind cause nobody wants to work these COVID days. LOL
