Parody of "Old Time Rock and Roll" performed by Bob Seger and written by George Jackson & Thomas
Jones
(The Book of Job)
NOTE: This song was originally recorded at our fifth concert ever, June 20, 1992, at the Paradise
Club in Irwin PA. We released it on our first live cassette, "Get Your Wigs," in June 1992.
Just take that old Bible off the shelf
I'm sick of feelin' sorry for myself
Today's problems might be bad but even so
I thank the Lord that I'm not named Job
Job was righteous man with lots of wealth
He had a family and perfect health
But Satan took it all and tried to steal his soul
I thank the Lord that I'm not named Job
I thank the Lord that I'm not named Job
That kind of sufferin' would kill my soul
When I start gettin' down and feelin' low
I thank the Lord that I'm not named Job
He lost his family, he lost his sheep
He lost his animals, his friends were creep
He lost his temper, man, but not his control
I thank the Lord that I'm not named Job
CHORUS
Call it a fable but I know it's true
Say I'm old-fashioned but I'll say this to you
I'm just so awful glad it happened long ago
I thank the Lord that I'm not named Job
Job 13:15a
"Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him ..."
