Don't Quit Your Day Job Songtext

von Pirates of the Mississippi

They used to tell us boys you're wasting time
You can't make a livin' with that guitar on your mind
Then they'd line up to hear us on Saturday might
And we'd say what do you think and they all testified

They said don't quit your day job you're gonna lose the farm
You got a dream on fire but you're burning down the barn
That ol' honky tonking ain't no way to live
They said don't quit your day job but I'm so glad we did
[ steel - guitar ]
Now we don't get back home like we use to
But we can't wait to get there when we do
All our hometown friends and family are still standing on our side
And we laugh about those days when they all cried

They said don't quit your day job...

They said don't quit your day job (they said don't quit your day job)
Don't quit your day job (no don't quit your day job)
They said don't quit your day job but I'm so glad we did
