Download	Image LRC TXT

	Lyrics：Mac Mcanally Music：Mac Mcanally
	For Mac who reminds me of me seven years ago
	In the middle of late last night I was sittin' on a curb
	I didn't know what about, but I was feelin' quite disturbed
	A street sweeper came whistlin' by, he was bouncin' every step
	It seemed strange how good he felt, so I asked him while he swept
	Chorus:
	He said, 'It's my job to be cleaning up this mess
	And that's enough reason to go for me
	It's my job to be better than the rest
	And that makes a day for me.'
	I got an uncle who owns a bank, he's a self-made millionaire
	He never had anyone to love, never had no one to care
	He always seemed kinda sad to me and I asked him why that was
	And he told me it's because in my contract there's this clause
	Chorus:
	That says, 'It's my job to be worried half to death
	And that's the thing people respect in me
	It's my job but without it I'd be less
	Than what I expect from me.'
	Now I've been lazy most all my life writin' songs and sleepin' late
	And any manual labor I've done was purely by mistake
	If street sweepers can smile then I've got no right to feel upset
	But sometimes I still forget
	'Til the lights go on and the stage is set
	And the song hits home and you feel that sweat
	Chorus:
	It's my job to be different than the rest
	And that's enough reason to go for me
	It's my job to be better than the rest
	And that's a rough break for me
	Chorus:
	It's my job to be cleaning up this mess
	And that's enough reason to go for me
	It's my job to be better than the rest
	And that makes the day for me
