Lyrics
The band played late last night, I got home about 4 am
Never did hear the alarm, so I guess I'll be late again
I had to walk to work, 'cause my car ran out of gas
My boss just shook his head, said my job just ain't gonna last
I turned around, looked him in the eye and said I may be slow
But my work is poor.
I may be slow, but my work is poor
I used to have a day job, but I ain't got it no more
Seems it only takes a week or two, before they show me the door
I may be slow, but my work is poor
If I did not have a girlfriend, I guess I wouldn't have a home
The band plays out every night, so she spends her evenings alone
She makes us plans for the weekend, but all I want to do is sleep
Then she just shakes her head, says it time for me to earn my keep
That's when I turn around, look her in the eye and say I may be slow
But my work is poor.
I may be slow, but my work is poor
I used to have a girlfriend, but I ain't got her no more
Seems it only took a week or two, before she showed me the door
I may be slow, but my work is poor
Well, I may be slow, but my work is poor
Got some money from a gig last night, but I ain't got it no more
Seems it only takes a day or two, before I?m lookin? for more
I may be slow, but my work is poor
Well, I may be slow, but my work is poor
Got some money from a gig last night, but I ain't got it no more
Seems it only takes a day or two, before I?m lookin? for more
I may be slow, but my work is poor
