I GET STUCK

Words & Music by
JIMMIE R. VESTAL

I always wanted a good paying job But I work for peanuts and feel like a slob I slave all year, Uncle Sam writes back
I stuck with owing more tax.

The world throws lemons, I throw lemonade Where I keep stepping there’s not much made When I try to learn country line dancing I’m the one tripping and finding no romancing.

There could be no mosquito in sight But I'm the one that gets the bite I’d be driving, and it’s just my luck I’d get behind a slow-moving truck.

(Chorus):

I get stuck with lots of bad luck But don’t give up when you get stuck.

I go to a super market and stand in line I'm in the "Express Lane", so things will be fine A person with a check is passing time away If I wasn’t in a hurry, I’d be there all day.

I get no respect, like someone we know He’s that actor in the picture shows If he had no bad luck, as I recall He’d be like me and have no luck at all.

If I took a trip into outer space I'd get stuck in a crowded place If I went down, deep into the sea Someone there would surely find me.

(Chorus):

I get stuck with lots of bad luck But don’t give up when you get stuck.

I wonder what’s the future for me The world’s gone to the dogs, and I’m the tree My advice to you is don’t give up Even when you seem to be down on your luck.

I’m the jack of all trades and the master of none But in my life the race isn’t won People say, "There’s no such thing as bad luck" That’s probably true, but why do I get stuck?
