Don't Quit Your Day Job

They used to tell us boys you're wasting time You can't make a livin' with that guitar on your mind Then they'd line up to hear us on Saturday might And we'd say what do you think and they all testified They said don't quit your day job you're gonna lose the farm You got a dream on fire but you're burning down the barn That ol' honky tonking ain't no way to live They said don't quit your day job but I'm so glad we did [ steel - guitar ] Now we don't get back home like we use to But we can't wait to get there when we do All our hometown friends and family are still standing on our side And we laugh about those days when they all cried They said don't quit your day job... They said don't quit your day job (they said don't quit your day job) Don't quit your day job (no don't quit your day job) They said don't quit your day job but I'm so glad we did
