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?
