Steve Wariner - Real Tough Job Lyrics

Sittin’ in the back of the boat wrestling with a marlin

A beautiful girl insisting that I call her darlin’

Twelve o’clock maybe have a little snack

One forty-five put some lotion on her back

Then my schedule pretty much opens up



CHORUS:

It’s a real tough job

But somebody’s got to do it

I’ll do the best that I can

And try to get through it

I’ve got a list somewhere of all the things I need to do

I swear I’m gonna get around to it

It’s a real tough job but somebody’s gotta do it



Checkin’ my messages with my toes in the sand

But it’s hard to dial with this margarita here in my hand

Make a mental note party in town

Oh yea and don’t forget to watch the sun go down

At some point maybe I can take a break



REPEAT CHORUS

Look over there what seems to be the commotion

Somebody’s pullin this Bay Watch babe from the ocean

Then somebody yells she ain’t breathin’

Somebody help her life needs savin’

Anyone here happen to know CPR



CHORUS:

It’s a real tough job

But somebody’s got to do it

I’ll do the best that I can

And try to bring her through it

And when she asks who gave the kiss of life

Ah just tell her I blew it

It’s a real tough job but somebody’s gotta do it
