Story Behind The Song
I hurt the J.o.b Just over broke and wanted to write a song with that hook
Song Description
I moved to Nashville and had you get JOB for the first time in my life. It didn't take long to figure it out. I wish I would have listened to my parents and got a vocation. The jog market is tough with no training.

Lyrics
J.O.B. ?Just Over Broke?
My Momma always told me I should go to school
She said you need to get an education boy but I was way to cool
Now I try and I try but every time I look to see
I?m just over broke I got a J.O.B.
I got a J.O.B. it stands for Just Over Broke
Now I think you know what I mean
I work 24-7 ain?t got time to sleep
I?m Just Over Broke I got a J.O.B.
My Daddy tried to warn me he said
Son Life is Hard you need to get yourself
Some trainin if you wanna go far
Well of course I didn?t listen to a single word that man said
And now I?M Just Over Broke I gotta J.O.B.
I got a J.O.B. it stands for Just Over Broke
Now I think you know what I mean
I work 24-7 ain?t got time to sleep
I?m Just Over Broke I got a J.O.B.
There ain?t no moral to the story
But I think you?ll agree that parents know more
Than their children believe
So don?t follow my example or you wind up
Just like me Just Over Broke with a J.O.B.
I got a J.O.B. it stands for Just Over Broke
Now I think you know what I mean
I work 24-7 ain?t got time to sleep
I?m Just Over Broke
I?m Just Over Broke
I?m Just Over Broke
That right I gotta low payin can?t pay my bills rotten J.O.B.
