My Job Lost Me

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.
And 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 a free man!
I didn’t lose my job, my job lost me
So long, goodbye, good luck, see you later

Monkey in the middle stretched both ways
Squeezed just a little
That’s when the madness begins, obsession
Man’s got to have it, can’t let go, sweet little habit
That’s when the madness begins, obsession
No time, said the sparrow, to deviate the straight and narrow
Got a job I gotta do, can’t stop, can’t stop and talk with you
No time, said the sparrow
Children of darkness hear my plea
Please put the hammer down
That’s when the madness begins
That’s when the madness begins

Folk-rock-classical-jazz. That’s my answer to “What kind of music do you play?” Considering the dozen states I’ve called home, it’s not surprising that my styles range as widely as my travels. But rather than try to label the sound—because everybody has a different idea (Americana/roots/urban folk pop/indie acoustic), I just go for three qualities in my music: it’s rhythmic, melodic and memorable. ... more
