DON'T GIVE UP THE DAY JOB

I got the idea for this song from Glenn Watts' Nation thread "Abject (well maybe not that bad) Failure and the Lessons Learned".It is ironic that in a couple of months I will have to give up my own day job as circumstances have caught up with me at home, so it's the grey army of retirement probably, but I won't give up CBG's!Guitars; Batman, Slowpawcaster (rhythm)Drums;Roland TD 12Bass; Hofner violin copyHarp; Hohner Marine Band DbI'M TIRED OF CLOCKING IN AND OUT THE OLD NINE TO FIVEI NEED A BETTER REASON JUST TO KEEP ME ALIVEMY LIFE IS SO BORING, HELP ME OUT OF THIS RUTI NEED A BREAK TO STOP ME TURNING INTO A NUT!CHORUS - HAVE FUN....BUT DON'T GIVE UP THE DAY JOB, OH NOHAVE FUN....BUT DON'T GIVE UP THE DAY JOB, OH NOI FOUND A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD DO THIS WONDERFUL TRICKTHEY MADE A COOL GUITAR WITH JUST A BOX AND A STICKI GOT A FEW TOGETHER AND I WROTE A FEW SONGSI PUT TOGETHER LYRICS TRIED TO RIGHT A FEW WRONGSCHORUSI PLAYED A FEW LIVE SETS AND HAD A REALLY GOOD BASHAND MAYBE ONE DAY I COULD EARN SOME WONDERFUL CASHBUT SOMEONE WHISPERED SOMETHING IN MY CRUSTY OLD EARKEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING BUT IT WON'T MAKE A CAREERCHORUSI MADE SOME CD ALBUMS AND SOLD THEM ON EBAYTHE LONELY WINTER NIGHTS THEY ALL JUST WITHERED AWAYI BUILT A LOT OF BOX GUITARS GOT COVERED IN DUSTBUT IT TAKES A LOT OF HOURS JUST TO EARN A SMALL CRUSTCHORUSYOU GOT NO MONEY HONEY GOT NO MONEY HONEY....CHORUSBUT NOW I'LL HAVE A LOT MORE TIME TO FURTHER MY QUESTI MAY NOT BE THE FASTEST AND MAY NOT BE THE BESTI'LL KEEP IT TO THE GRINDSTONE HOPE IT DON'T GO AWAYJUST DOING WHAT I'M DOING AND I'LL LIVE FOR TODAY.CHORUSWords and music copyright Steve Trowbridge May 2014.From forthcoming album "Don't Give Up the Day Job" due out in 2015.
