	Story Behind the Song Very personal song about wasting you life at a very unrewarding job. Writing this song really helped me quit the job, and also started a relationship with these studio musicians who have now become a band. I wrote the song at work in just a few minutes. Recording was a breeze because of the very experienced musicians and studio technician at Arcadia Recording, (John Stites). Recorded live in 2 takes with scratch vocals, then solos added. Lyrics It's the same thing this morning Don't want to go to work today You know the time that I do there It's only for the pay But I need that Day Job To keep providing day to day Seems like a waste of my time There's so much more in life to do Each day at that Day Job You know it's life I just lose Just wasting through each day 'Till nightime comes And I can play some blues (Chorus) Now you know I ain't lazy But I feel I've done my time And if I don't get out soon I'm afraid I'll give up on trying Don't wanna give up on trying And dyin' with these Day Job Blues (harp, keys, guitar solos) (Chorus) There must be a better way Feels like I'm here just wastin' away Sell my time to this company Selling my soul there every day Wish they'd pay me all day long Pay for the blues Wish they'd pay me all day long I'm just wastin' away Wish they'd pay me all day long Pay for the blues that I can play
