lyrics

Full Time Blues (Renbarger, 2021)

I make the coffee
I sweep the floors
I wash the dishes
I do the chores
I count the cash
I take the trash out too
Ooh, baby, I’ve got the full time blues

Now, every mornin’
Four on the dot
I’m wakin’ up to the sound of the clock
And you know I’m wishin’
That I was hittin’ that snooze
Ooh, baby, I’ve got the full time blues

Now, how’s a man supposed to get ahead
When Cinderella slavin’ is what these bills expect?

I’ve got insurance
I’ve got a car
And I’ve gotta eat
Man, I don’t wanna starve
And I’ve got my rent
And my debt
I’m just namin’ a few
Ooh, baby, tell me, what can a poor son do?

Yah, how’s a man to ever get ahead?
You know that boss man sits on billions
While we work ourselves to death
You know, I start to scratch my head

I make the coffee
I scrub the floors
I’m talkin’ toothbrush down on all fours
And I count their cash
I take the trash out too
Ooh, baby, I’ve got the full time blues
Ooh, baby, what can an American do?
Ooh, baby, I’ve got the full time...
U. S. of A.
Twelve hour days
Just for pocket change
And thoroughly underappreciated blues
