Get Downtown - Drive-By Truckers

I’m too pretty to work and I’m tired

Of you uglyin' up my house"

Jimmy said, «Baby, the guys at the top

Are doin' bad as the guys on the street»

Kim said, «The guys at the top ain’t about

To be payin' alimony to me»

She said «Go downtown

See what you can find

Put your face in someone’s that ain’t mine

Looks like the*m* unemployment blues

Are wearin' out your houseshoes

Jimmy said, «Baby, ain’t you *heard* the news?

It’s as far as the eyes can see.

Foreigners are comin' in and doin' our jobs

For half of what they would’ve paid me.»

«You mean half of what you would’ve made

For somethin' you’ve never done.

Sounds like the bright side to all this, Jimmy

Is your askin' price went up —

Now get downtown

See what you can find

Put your face in someone’s that ain’t mine

Looks like them unemployment blues

Are wearin' out your houseshoes

Baby left when your boots came untied."

Jimmy said, «Baby, if I work for your daddy

It’s worse than bein' his son.»

Kim didn’t like what he said one bit

And it didn’t surprise him none.

She said, «My daddy took good enough care of my mama

She hardly had to say a thing.»

Jim said «That's part of what’s wrong»

Kim said «Don't say another damn thing —

Just get downtown

See what you can find

Put your face in someone’s that ain’t mine

Looks like them unemployment blues

Are wearin' out your houseshoes.

Baby left when your boots came untied."
