Gotta Find a Job

Gotta Find a Job - Lee Dorsey

I had a good catch and was doin' fine

When who I thought was a friend of mine

Went runnin' to the boss and started lyin'

(I gotta get out and find a job)

The roof is leakin' and the rent ain't paid

Need a new pair of shoes and I'm underfed

Old lady's fussin' 'bout the bills she made

(I gotta get me out and find a job)

Never made enough to put nothin' on the side

Problems problems Lord I'm so tired

Troubles by the dozen oh me oh my

(I gotta get me out and find a job)

I don't know how I'm gonna live

Somethin' gotta break or somethin' gotta give

I been troubled and I'm sincere

(I gotta get me out and find a job)

Well one more time

I had a good catch & was doin' fine

When who I thought was a friend of mine

Went runnin' to the boss & started lyin'

(I gotta get out & find a job)

Never made enough to put nothin' on the side

Problems problems Lord I'm so tired

Troubles by the dozen oh me oh my

(I gotta get me out & find a job)

I don't know how I'm gonna live

Somethin' gotta break or somethin' gotta give

I been troubled & I'm sincere

(I gotta get me out & find a job)

Well one more time

I had a good catch & was doin' fine

When who I thought was a friend of mine

Went runnin' to the boss & started lyin'
