Lyrics：Jim Croce Music：Jim Croce
Well, I had just got out from the county prison
Doin' ninety days for non-support
Tried to find me an executive position
But no matter how smooth I talked
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius
The man say, 'We got all that we can use.'
Now Iot them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
Working at the car wash blues
Well, I should be sittin' in an air conditioned office in a swivel chair
Talkin' some trash to the secretaries
Sayin', 'Here, now mama, come on over here.'
Instead, I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag
And walkin' home in soggy old shoes
With them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
Workin' at the car wash blues
You know a man of my ability
He should be smokin' on a big cigar
But till I get myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait
In my rubber suit a-rubbin' these cars
Well, all I can do is a shake my head
You might not believe that it's true
For workin' at this end of Niagara Falls
Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes
So baby, don't expect to see me
With no double martini in any high-brow society news
Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
Workin' at the car wash blues
So baby, don't expect to see me
With no double martini in any high-brow society news
Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
Workin' at the car wash blues
Yeah I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
Workin' at the car wash blues

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you
Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
...
Uptown got it's hustlers
The Bowery got it's bums
42nd street got big Jim walker
He's a pool shootin' son of a gun
Yeah he big and dumb as a man can c...
Like the pine trees lining the winding road

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you
Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
...
Lazy days in mid July
Country Sunday mornin's
Dusty haze on summer highways
Sweet magnolia callin'
But now and then I find myself
Thinkin' of the day...
Well, I know it's kind of late
But what I got to say can't wait
I know you'd understand
Every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
S...
Yeah, I've had my share of broken dreams
And more than a couple of falls
And in chasin' what I thought were moonbeams
I have run into a couple of wall...
We've been runnin' away from
somethin' we both know
We've long run out of things to say
and I think I'd better go
So don't be gettin' excited
oh-when ...
