Guy Clark - Jack of All Trades [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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 rail-road
I worked in the fields
I'm a steeple jack 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 get
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 going to get your money's worth
No matter what it costs

[Verse 2]
I don't work assembly line
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
Cam on, show me how it goes

[Chorus]

[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]
