Jim Croce - Workin' At The Carwash Blues lyrics

Well I had just got out from the county prison Doin' 90 days for non-support Tried to find me an executive position But no matter how smooth I talked They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was genius The man said, "We got all that we can use." Now I got them Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin' Workin' at the carwash blues Well I should be sittin' in an air conditioned Office with a swivel chair Talkin' some trash to the secretary, sayin' "Hey now mama, come on over here." Instead I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag And walkin' home in soggy old shoes With them steadily depressin', low down mind-messin' Workin' at the carwash blues You know a man of my ability He should be smokin' on a big cigar But till I get myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait In my rubber suit rubbin' these cars Well, all I can do is just shake my head You might not believe that it's true For working at this end of Niagara Falls Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes So baby, don't 'spect to see me With no double martini In any high-brow society news Cause I got them Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin' Workin' at the carwash blues So baby, don't 'spect to see me With no double martini In any high-brow society news Cause I got them Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin' Workin' at the carwash blues Yeah, I got them Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin' Workin' at the carwash blues
