Lyrics
I've Got The POA Blues Again.
I went to work just the other day
Just trying to get on with my stuff
The boss came over and said to me
"Boy, you're just not doing enough"
"I'm going to make some changes round here
I'm sorry if they torpedo your career"
I guess I've got the "Period Of Adjustment Blues" again
I went home not in the best of moods
Looking forward to a beer or two
My wife had a left a cursory note on the door
It said "I've had enough of you"
"I''m moving back home, got nothing to lose
I've taken all the kids and the Chevy Cruze"
I'm sure I've got the "Period of Adjustment Blues" again
Chorus
I've got the "Period of Adjustment Blues" again
Why the hell can't anything ever just simply stay the same
Verse
I went out with my only buddy
To try and wash my troubles away
We were chilling out with a couple of beers
When he decided to say
"Got busted by the cops, I'm heading for the pen
Away for 20 years, you'll never see me again"
I've definitely got the "Period of Adjustment Blues" again
I've certainly got the "Period of Adjustment Blues" again
I've got the "Why Can't Anything Ever Stay The Same Blues" again
