Jack of All Trades Songtext
von Guy Clark

Now, I don′t mind workin' hard
You can′t burn me down
They ain't made a job
That I can't work my way around
Sometime, I do it for the money
Sometime, for the glamor
Sometime, I use my head
Sometime, I get a bigger hammer
Get a bigger hammer, yeah

I worked up the railroad, man
I worked in the fields
I′m a steeple jack and it′s a fact
I drive anything on wheels
I can frame a house, drive pilin'
Pour that wet concrete
Take a weldin′ rig and build a bridge
And I can do it in my sleep, oh
Do it in my sleep


Well I'm the Jack of all trades
I love every lick I hit
If I ain′t got the job done, son
I might not want to quit
I'm the Jack of all trades (you know)
That makes me the boss
You gon′ get your money's worth
No matter what it costs

Hey, I don't work assembly line
Doin′ the same ol′ thing
The same ol' shop, the same ol′ clock
Is playin' the same ol′ game, yeah
And I don't want no desk job, man
It don′t suit my clothes
And I don't need no engineer
Just to show me how it goes
C'mon, show me how it goes

I′m the Jack of all trades
I love every lick I hit
If I ain′t got the job done, son
I might not want to quit
I'm the Jack of all trades (you know)
That makes me the boss
You gon′ get your money's worth
No matter what it costs
Hey hey, hey


Well, there ain′t no need to do a job
If I can't do it right
I may not be gettin′ rich
But I'm sleepin' good at night, hey
Some call me a gypsy
Some call me a flake
But I′ll kiss your ass if I don′t earn
Every dime I make, ooh
Every dime I make

I'm the Jack of all trades
I love every lick I hit
If I ain′t got the job done, son
I might not want to quit
I'm the Jack of all trades (you know)
That makes me the boss
You gon′ get your money's worth
No matter what it costs
Hey hey, hey...
