Losing Our Job

[Floogeldy]

LOSING OUR JOB

It's just a job that fell through
I'm sure that you will find another
I'll make a special dinner tonight
Don't worry darling, it'll be alright

I don't believe these words I'm singing
It doesn't sound like truth to me
Our love is gone, but we're still clinging
To the way it used to be

These times are hard for everybody
I read the paper, I see the news
Something will give and make it better
We're gonna work it out, not gonna lose

I don't believe these words I'm singing
It doesn't sound like truth to me
Our love is gone, but we’re still clinging
To the way it used to be

1. That reminds me of:

"Angel from Montgomery," by John Prine

I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that’s grown old
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Make me an angel that flies from montgom’ry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He weren’t much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.

Make me an angel that flies from montgom’ry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

There’s flies in the kitchen I can hear ’em there buzzing
And I ain’t done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.
