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
