I Quit My Job To Go To The Colourbook Show
(capo on 2nd fret - E G D G)
about a month ago I got up at quarter to six
about a month ago I thought about calling in sick
about a month ago I walked to work in the rain
cuz in nanaimo on sunday there’s no bus to take
I thought that I might say
I’m not selling cigarettes to anyone today
I thought that I might say
I’m not selling cigarettes to anyone today
I thought about what they might say-
go back the way you came
I got to work a little bit late
my supervisor was having a really bad day
I didn’t have the heart to say
I’m not selling cigarettes to anyone today
I had made up my mind
if I got myself fired
I’d go home and make a solo record
called the erin just got fired and needs to make some money record
and I didn’t have the heart to say
I’m not selling cigarettes to anyone today
but I quit my job today
I’m moving on today
so I wrote this song today
I’m not selling cigarettes to anyone today
I started going through my songs
I could make a record 20 hours long
with all the things that I’ve been through
and all the songs I wrote about you
I just brought you into this
you could be anyone that I’ve kissed
you could be anyone that I’ve missed
so I started going through those songs
I found one two minutes long
about the things that I might say
if you ever came my way
it had always been one of my favourites
I thought I’d put it on my first solo record
but that song’s where I was then
and now I’m never going back
that song’s where I was then
and I’m not staying
that song’s where I was then
no one ever really listened to it anyway
I saw your eyes gloss over
I saw you heading for another drink
that song’s where I was then
and I’m not staying
so I wrote this song today
I’m moving on today
I quit my job today
I’m not selling cigarettes to anyone today
