Tim Atwood "Non-Essential Worker Blues"
Lyrics: Let me tell you all a story It's sad but it's true It's March 2020 The world changed that we knew There's a nasty virus spreadin' cross the land We're scared to congregate The man says wash your hands We're all inside on quarantine As crazy as it be When we get back to normal What's normal gonna be? I got the blues The non essential worker's blues All my life, I've made music But now they say I can't Unless I'm in my living room wearing my sweat pants I got the blues The non essential worker blues Lord Lord I'm not a front line worker So they've asked me to stay home I sang to the crowds Now I sing in to my phone I got the blues The Non Essential worker blues. I never thought I'd see the day when I could be dismissed 'cause they say I'm non essential. To that I say Kiss This! I got the blues / The non essential worker blues. I've played for your concerts, your weddings and good times Now when things are tough Your gonna leave my behind behind I got the blues.... The Non Essential Worker Blues. Last week I made the same amount on live gigs as Garth, The same as Jason Aldean and Beyonce (for a start) I made the same as Streisand, Vince Gill and Manilow And that's a big fat goose egg. Nadda. Zero. I don't mind staying home and doing my part But when you call me non essential It really breaks my heart I got the blues. The non essential worker blues I understand their reasons but I have bills to pay I hope they find a cure soon And I can play another day I got the blues. The non essential worker blues I'm not a front line worker They've asked me to stay home I sang to the crowds Now I sing into my phone I got the blues The Non Essential worker blues Written by Tim Atwood and Roxane Atwood (BMI 2020) VISIT & FOLLOW: website - https://timatwood.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TimAtwoodOff...
