Lyrics

Got something to tell you babe, I’ll tell you straight
I went to work today, found out today was my last day
I can’t believe it happened…
Let me tell you exactly how it happened
Had lunch with the big guy and the big guy said,
We got to cut something, we got to cut something…
 
My head grew heavy and my hands got hot
Next thing I know I’m out here in the parking lot
And I’m talking to you on the telephone, baby
And you’re telling me to come on home
You work your whole life tryin’ to build up something
Then along comes a stiff wind and knocks it down to nothing
 
I didn’t lose my job, my job was taken from me
There’s a difference, you know what I mean
I didn’t lose my job, my job lost me
 
They tried to tell me, Just watch your back they said
I said, How am I supposed to watch my back and still see where I’m going?  
Hey Buddy, just don’t say we didn’t warn you              
 
Be tough for a while but I think we can make it
We got the love, the kind to take us
To the other side of the difficult water
Take us to the other side 
‘Cause when you look at me that way and you call my name
I know nothing’s gonna stand in our way
 
I didn’t lose my job, my job was taken from me
There’s a difference, what’s the difference, I’m free
I didn’t lose my job, my job lost me
 
I didn’t lose my job, my job was taken from me
What’s the difference, hallelujah, I’m a free man!
I didn’t lose my job, my job lost me.
 
So long, goodbye, good luck, see you later….
