Backbone Job
Recorded by Keith Whitley
Written by Karen Brooks and Keith Whitley

G C G
Well I'm not lookin' for an occupation I just wanna go home
C G
They're holdin me a ticket at the greyhound station I'm still payin on
C G C D7
I never learned to sell folks nothin' I wasn't raised to steal or rob
G F D7 G
I'm lookin' for a backbone job

C
I can pick and shovel I can hang drywall
G D7 G
Swing a nine pound hammer pull a cross-cut saw
C
A post-hole digger or barbwire strand
D7 C
I don't mind work but I'm a backbone man

G C G
I'm not dumb but I ain't been to college I never got the first degree
C G
And now-a-days everybody's makin a livin' tappin on the TV screen
C G C D7
Now I'm down on a man's white collar I don't mean to be a snob
G F D7 G
I'm just a-lookin' for a backbone job

Repeat #2,1

D7 G F D7 G
Just lookin' for a backbone job
D7 G F D7 G
I'm lookin' for a backbone job
