A Softer Ride
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed til I'm satisfied, and let my head take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work, I aint gonna work no more
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
I'll find me a shack where it's cool inside
And turn my back on the cold outside
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
If I could go back to the job I had
Same old thing gonna drive me mad
So I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
Never again will I have to be
Down
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed til I'm satisfied, and let my head take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work, I aint gonna work no more
