Guy Clark
Jack of All Trades
Now, I don't mind working hard, you can't burn me down
They ain't made a job that I can't work my way around
Sometime I do it for the money, sometime for the glamour
Sometime I use my head, sometime I get a bigger hammer
Get a bigger hammer

I worked on the railroad, man, I worked in the fields
I'm a steeplejack and it's a fact I drive anything on wheels
I can frame a house, drive piling, pour that wet concrete
Take a welding rig and build a bridge and I can do it in my sleep
Do it in my sleep

[Chorus]
But I'm the jack of all trades
I love every lick I hit
If I ain't got the job done, son
I might not want to quit
I'm the jack of all trades
That makes me the boss
You're gonna get your money's worth
No matter what it costs

[Verse 2]
I don't work assembly lines doing the same old thing
The same old shop, the same old clock is playing the same old game
And I don't want no desk job, man, it don't suit my clothes
And I don't need no engineer just to show me how it goes
Come on, show me how it goes
[Chorus]
But I'm the jack of all trades
I love every lick I hit
If I ain't got the job done, son
I might not want to quit
I'm the jack of all trades
That makes me the boss
You're gonna get your money's worth
No matter what it costs

[Verse 3]
Well, there ain't no need to do a job if I can't do it right
I may not be getting rich, but I'm sleeping good at night
Some call me a gypsy, some call me a flake
But I'll kiss your ass if I don't earn every dime I make
Every dime I make

[Chorus]
But I'm the jack of all trades
I love every lick I hit
If I ain't got the job done, son
I might not want to quit
I'm the jack of all trades
That makes me the boss
You're gonna get your money's worth
No matter what it costs
