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
