Dirty Job Lyrics by The Dirty Knobs

External Combustion

2022

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
My best friend's wife's got a new friend
Lookin' kinda cozy sittin' skin to skin
Well, somebody tell me what I'm supposed to do
I don't know if he can handle the truth

[Chorus]
It's a dirty job
But someone's gotta do it
I oughta walk away
I oughta say, "Screw it"
It's a dirty job
Someone's gotta do it
Someone's gotta do it
It might as well be me
Yeah, me

[Verse 2]
I got a truckload of moonshine in a pickup truck
If you drive across the border, it could bring you good luck
Well, there ain't much risk, believe it or not
But, you will be a rich man if you don't get caught

[Chorus]
It's a dirty job
Someone's gotta do it
I don't know if you're up to it
Dirty job
Someone's gotta do it
Someone's gotta do it
It might as well be me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I was drinking some tequila, working on a good buzz
(It's a dirty job)
Bartender bending my ear like he always does
(It's a dirty job)
He said, "Can you do me a favor when the coast is clear?"
(It's a dirty job)
"Yeah, I'll give you twenty bucks to get that drunk outta here"
(It's a dirty job)

[Chorus]
It's a dirty job
But someone's gotta do it
I oughta walk away
I oughta tell 'em all to "Screw it"
Dirty job
Someone's gotta do it
Someone's gotta do it
Might as well be me
Oh, yeah
