| I HAVE A GOOD JOB | |
| Lead 1: | |
| And when I think | |
| I was so young | |
| I have no money | |
| I could feel the day my dream would come true | |
| Daddy wanted | |
| Me in school | |
| To be successful | |
| “And when you’ll be a business man, then you’ll be grateful” | |
| Refrain: (Bis) | |
| Mama mother | |
| And my father singing | |
| My my sister | |
| And my brother | |
| Sing my songs | |
| Lead 2: | |
| Daddy had | |
| This here guitar | |
| He played on somedays | |
| But on the sly I spent my time playing my heart out | |
| And when the time | |
| Had come for me | |
| To make my own way | |
| Me and my axe, we saw the world day by day | |
| Refrain: (Bis) | |
| Lead 3: | |
| So many years | |
| Have gone by | |
| So far from you | |
| Mama won’t you please accept me for I’ve done | |
| Now when they sing | |
| It takes me back | |
| To times gone by when daddy thought I’d never get far | |
