Cover Letter Song

[Verse 1]
I bagged groceries
I collected carts
I mowed lawns
And I washed cars
I was a clerk at a record store
I alphabetized file cabinets
I licked envelopes

[Chorus]
And I wrote songs
And I wrote
'Cause I got dreams and big ideas
And I got goals

[Verse 2]
Over and over I organize
The basement of a department store
And I wrote more songs
I moved boxes and
Worked the plastic machine at a warehouse
And I wrote
I collected tickets at a parking garage
And I wrote
I manned a library's reference desk
I worked alone in a slow warehouse
That kept the lights low

[Chorus]
And I wrote songs
And I wrote
'Cause I got dreams and I got goals
I'm gonna be the next Tim Kinsella

[Verse 3]
I prepared various coffee drinks
And I waited tables stones
And I wrote
I got carpal tunnel and data entry vertigo
And I wrote songs
I mopped floors
I scrubbed toilets
And I wrote
Afternoon shift renting businessmen porn
To keep the shelves stocked
With underground and foreign art films

[Chorus]
And I wrote songs
And I wrote
'Cause I got dreams and I got goals
Gonna be the next Tim Kinsella

[Verse 4]
I bartended simple
Before it became a skilled profession
I ushered at a theater
Administrative assistant
Photo assistant
Video editing assistant
Taught a few classes
