  • need some inspirational songs

    With what's happening in my life recently (people passing away, job quiting, etc), I need some songs to listen to get myself motivated.

    Post some of your inspiring/motivating songs.
    How'd I get so white and nerdy?

    Take This Job And Shove It Lyrics
    Artist(Band):Johnny Paycheck Review The Song (2) Print the Lyrics


    Send polyphonic ringtone to your cell phone


    [David Allan Coe]

    (Chorus)
    Take this job and shove it
    I ain't workin' here no more
    Woman done left
    Took all the reason
    I was working for
    Ya, better not try to stand in my way
    As I'm walkin', out that door
    You can take this job and shove it
    I ain't working here no more

    Well, I been working in this factory
    For now on fifteen years
    All this time, I watched my woman
    Drownin' in a pool of tears
    And I've seen alot of good folks die
    Who had alot of bills to pay
    I'd give the shirt right off of my back
    If I had the guts to say...

    (Chorus)

    The foreman, he's a regular dog
    The line boss, he's a fool
    He got a flat top haircut
    Lord, the boy thinks he's cool
    One of these days
    I'm gonna blow my top
    And that sucker, he's gonna pay
    I can't wait
    Until I get the nerve
    To walk up to him and say...

    (Chorus)

    Take this job and shove it

      K-den..Adrian. I'm INTOXICATED. Since you asked, the first song came into my mind is "You light up my Life!" By Debbie Boone

        Adrian...try the cannery or dishwashing or shiftwork. Better yet, get a girl pregnant and get married and have to support a family on a crap, boring, low-paying, ego-killing, depressive job with minimum wage.

          I've always been greatly inspired by the Queen classic, "Fat Bottomed Girls." It is one of the ringtones I've reserved for certain people in my phone, and just an all-'round great song.

            "Get on your bikes and ride!"
            "We are the Champions" by same band works as well. If you've never heard the Dubliners, you can check them out (Whiskey in the Jar, Wild Rover, etc.), but just avoid their sadder songs like Waltzing Matilda or Molly Malone.

                  Tom Cochrane's "Life Is A Highway"
                  (I know, Rascal Flatts also recorded it for Cars, but I still like the power of the 1991 original.)

                    How 'bout Loggins and Messina?

                    "Same Old Wine"

                    Well we give them the election
                    They keep filling our heads full of lies
                    Can we trust in new directons
                    When their promises are in disquise
                    Well someday the truth will catch us
                    I just hope it don't catch us all by surprise

                    They preach this thing, religion
                    But we show no faith at all
                    Follow suit on Sunday
                    But on Monday, forget it all
                    If the times should find us needing him
                    Then my friends, Lord have mercy on us all

                    It's the same old wine
                    In a brand new bottle
                    It's the same old wine
                    In a brand new bottle

                    Teach our children virture
                    Then we send'em off to war
                    Then we ask ourselves the question
                    What and the hell are we fighting for
                    If you should find a reason
                    Well don't be afraid to open the door
                    Well don't be afraid

                    Same old wine
                    From a brand new bottle
                    Same old wine
                    From a brand new bottle
                    The same old wine
                    From a brand new bottle
                    Life is either an adventure... or you're not doing it right!!!

                      If you're just looking for something upbeat, try "bubble gum rock". The lead act on that classification is The Archies. But there's a lot of stuff from the mid to late 60's that work too.

                          Thanks to my high school buddies, I learned I should never hook up with anyone unless I can satisfy myself (emotionally, physically, or financially).
                          How'd I get so white and nerdy?

                            Good gosh, Auntie. I'd kill myself listening to that song. That's almost as bad as Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You". Horrors!

                            Susie's "Take This Job and Shove It" was a good one.

                            "Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf is quite invigorating. Watch this video as an F-18 pilot takes a "magic carpet ride"!

                            Also taking your life to new altitudes would be the song Dreams by Van Halen.

                              Another one:

                              Artist: Melissa Manchester
                              Song: Don't Cry Out Loud

                              "Baby cried the day the circus came to town
                              'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her
                              So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
                              While she danced without a net upon the wire
                              I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see
                              Baby is an awful lot like me

                              Don't cry out loud
                              Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
                              Fly high and proud
                              And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

                              Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
                              They left behind her dreams among the litter
                              The different kind of love she thought she'd found
                              There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter
                              But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
                              She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er

                              Don't cry out loud
                              Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
                              Fly high and proud
                              And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

                              Don't cry out loud
                              Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
                              Fly high and proud
                              And if you should fall, remember you almost made it

                              Don't cry out loud
                              Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
                              Fly high and proud
                              And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all!!"
