I'm Not the Man for the Job

by Chuck Mead

on Close to Home (2019)

[Verse 1]
Well I spend all day loading widgets down at your warehouse
And I spend all night trying to be better than I am
Lately I've been lonely, toting a heavy load
Thinking how it's never enough to do the best that I can

[Chorus]
See ya
Wouldn't wanna be ya
Oh, life's gettin' tougher and I don't know if I'm that strong
So long
I got to be moving on
Oh, I'm not the man for the job

[Verse 2]
Now I can't drink no more of your corporate kool-aide
And your meager bonuses can only take a man so far
Sometimes though, I wonder if it's worth all the sweat and [?]
I guess it all depends on how high you set the bar

[Chorus]
See ya
Wouldn't wanna be ya
Oh, life's gettin' tougher and I don't know if I'm that strong
So long
I got to be moving on
Oh, I'm not the man for the job
Oh, I'm not the man for the job
Oh, I'm not the man for the job
