Song | Workin' at the Car Wash Blues |
Artist | Jim Croce |
Album | Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits |
Lyrics:Jim Croce Music:Jim Croce | |
Well, I had just got out from the county prison | |
Doin' ninety days for non-support | |
Tried to find me an executive position | |
But no matter how smooth I talked | |
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius | |
The man say, 'We got all that we can use.' | |
Now Iot them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' | |
Working at the car wash blues | |
Well, I should be sittin' in an air conditioned office in a swivel chair | |
Talkin' some trash to the secretaries | |
Sayin', 'Here, now mama, come on over here.' | |
Instead, I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag | |
And walkin' home in soggy old shoes | |
With them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' | |
Workin' at the car wash blues | |
You know a man of my ability | |
He should be smokin' on a big cigar | |
But till I get myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait | |
In my rubber suit a-rubbin' these cars | |
Well, all I can do is a shake my head | |
You might not believe that it's true | |
For workin' at this end of Niagara Falls | |
Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes | |
So baby, don't expect to see me | |
With no double martini in any high-brow society news | |
Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' | |
Workin' at the car wash blues | |
So baby, don't expect to see me | |
With no double martini in any high-brow society news | |
Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' | |
Workin' at the car wash blues | |
Yeah I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' | |
Workin' at the car wash blues |
