  C7               G                    C7                       D

REPEAT CHORUS

WELL IM NOT LOOKIN FOR AN OCCUPATION, I JUST WANNA GO HOME
THEYRE HOLDIN ME A TICKET AT THE GREYHOUND STATION, IM STILL PAYIN ON
I NEVER LEARNED TO SELL FOLKS NOTHIN, I WASNT RAISED TO STEAL AND ROB
IM LOOKIN FOR A BACKBONE JOB
