Listen, enjoy the vocal and guitar or piano music of David Derbes.

NOTE: I've added some piano "instrumental only" songs on my music page. They are labeled as Piano in the title. Most are located towards the bottom of the page. Hi everyone! I'm a 49 year old part-time musician/songwriter with several years of various experiences. My ultimate goal is to have some songs published and recorded. All recordings of the songs were recorded with a simple cassette tape recorder. I'll try to keep the "News" section updated as things develop.

Lyrics

My Job
Copyright © 2008 David Derbes

Verse 1
Well I don't mind waking every morning.
The alternative, I hear, could mean death.
And I don't mind the drive to work, it's rather pretty
but my job, it seems, to take away my breath.

The architect and engineers don't agree
The crane is swaying with the slightest breeze.

Chorus
     Well I don't hate my job but I'm there for the pay.
     And every day gets harder, 'til it's payday
     I deal with every problem, some as crazy as can be.
     Well, it's not that i don't like my job
     But I don't think my job likes me.

Verse 2
The secretary calls off sick most Mondays
And sometimes when she don't, I wish she did.
Because I must endure all her stories
about her lazy husband and her kids

The foreman says the welder's aren't  a weldin',
The copier is broke down again.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
I've heard it said that patience is a virtue.
Well, that may be for some,  but not with me.
I'm countin' down the days 'til my retirement
and then I'll count them living free. 

Chorus
 
Ending
my job and me (repeat as ending)

Hey Dave,
Just listened to "My Job", it's true every word you wrote.  My job's kept on the road for 2 years in a row, it's wearing me out!  Keep the music coming.
Peace
