Johnny Paycheck – Take This Job And Shove It

100 Greatest Country Songs of All Time ! Is the ultimate blue-collar anthem! 🎸 Released in 1977 as the title track of the album with the same name, it was actually written by the legendary David Allan Coe but made famous by Johnny Paycheck 🎤. This outlaw country hit skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard Country charts 📈 and even inspired a movie later on! It perfectly captures that 'I’ve had enough' feeling we’ve all felt at work at some point 😤💼. Even today, it remains a cult classic for anyone dreaming of walking away from the daily grind! 🍻🚜

Much People Believed That The Song Had Been Written Paycheck , Thing That Did Not Like A Lot To David.
The Idea Of This Song Emerged, When David Allan Coe Was Looking For Work, I Offered Him A Work Of Fireman And The Answer Was, “Take This Job And Shove It” (It Was Onlyjoking), This Inspired For To Write The Song. Once It Was Written, I Take It To The Producer Billy Sherrill, That After Reading The Letter Of The Song, Said, This Song Is Perfect For Johnny Paycheck To Sing. So It Was In 1977 The Song Was Recorded.
It Was Published In The Johnny Paycheck Album “Take This Job And Shove It” (Epic Records 1977), The Next Year, It Was Also Published In The Album Of David Allan Coe, Family Album (Columbia Records 1978).
This Song Became A War Shout , For The Working Class.It Was Immediately Something That Every Working Person Could Connect With.It Was A Song About A Man Who Worked Hard At A Job For A Long Time Without Much Recognition.

Johnny Paycheck – Take This Job And Shove It lyrics

Take this job and shove it
I ain’t working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
‘Cause I’m walkin’ out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t working here no more
I been workin’ in this factory
For nigh on fifteen years
All this time I watched my woman
Drownin’ in a pool of tears
And I’ve seen a lot of good folks die
That had a lot of bills to pay
I’d give the shirt right offa’ my back
If I had the guts to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was workin’ for
You better not try to stand in my way
‘Cause I’m walkin’ out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t workin’ here no more
Well that foreman, he’s a regular dog
The line boss, he’s a fool
Got a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he thinks he’s cool
One of these days I’m gonna’ blow my top
And that sucker, he’s gonna’ pay
Lord I can’t wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was workin for
You better not try to stand in my way
‘Cause I’m walkin’ out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t workin’ here no more
Take this job and shove it
