about

Tough economic times, a period of unemployment...this song wrote itself. Good ol' honky tonk blues.

lyrics

Down Time

Work 'round here got scarce

I've got idle hands
Too much supply

Not enough demand

What's a man supposed to do in the down time


Last night's bottle of wine

Went down just fine

This morning's bitter pill

Too much time to kill

What's a man supposed to do in the down time



Last night I got drunk, and did not fret

That sure made my wife upset

Last night was fine until today

She left for work without a word to say

Well, what's man supposed to do in the down time



Work 'round here got scarce 
then it disappeared

I've been stuck at home
 now damn near a year

What's a man supposed to do in the down time



(chorus)



There's work 'round here I guess

Cleaning up the kitchen slop

I'll fill up a bucket

And dance around with the mop

I'll do what a man is supposed to do in the down time
