Written and recorded by Coral Reefer buddy Mac McAnally at the age of 22, this song was the beginning of a long and fruitful association between Mac and Jimmy Buffett, who came to Sheffield and recorded it in 1980 as a part of the "Coconut Telegraph" album.

I went from being a book keeper for 9 years, and thanks to the economy and losing my job, I now clean a bar every am,,,,sometimes when I mop and feel like shit, I think "it's my job" and sing this song to myself and feel like things are ok. It's my job.

Thanks Mac. My job is towing and fueling planes, along with blocking them in and out, hustling luggage and freight, providing rent cars, assisting passengers and flight crews... etc., etc. It can be overwhelming at times, but then I remember, it's my job to do it better than the rest and that...
makes the day for me.

@BryanMorton Great comment! Unfortunately more and more Americans think they shouldn't have to work at all and if they do, they try to do just enough to keep their job.
