The Unemployment Blues
TAXI CONFERENCE
This is my first taxi conference - I'm excited to be going. We have prepared full color CDs with our prize winning song and some of my other prize winning songs on it - it looks really great - Christina did an amazing job taking the pictures then laying it out nicely with color inserts.
Here are the lyrics to the ASCAP GORNEY Award winner-
The Unemployment Blues
Thought I could do it better I could do it all
Little did I know I was headed for a fall
I put in the trouble, I put in the sweat
Got the job I wanted, bought a new Corvette
seven years in college, to achieve my dream
Never thought I'd end up, with food stamps to redeem
I've got the blues ...
I've got the blues ...
To sing I am unable to beg I am too proud
not strong enough to dig a ditch or drag a plow
got no money, got no job,
what can I do different? on the sofa like a slob
looking for a job the city seems so cold,
for all my applications no one ever phones
I've got the blues ...
I've got the blues ...
I worked hard for 3 years before I got laid off
The boss still owes me money, times are really tough
then someone knew somebody, wanted to see me
(But) I chose the wrong direction, saw Queen's in misery
got a one-way ticket to the line around the block
I'm going to write a song called the unemployment rock
I've got the blues ...

I was laid off last week don't know what I will do
I'm gonna go on line with the unemployment blues
