Early Retirement Theme Song?

[no expert steve]

Does FIRE have a theme song yet? If not, I suggest "Something More" by Sugarland.

Monday, hard to wake up
Fill my coffee cup, I'm out the door
Yeah, the freeway's standing still today
It's gonna make me late and that's for sure
I'm running out of gas and out of time
Never gonna make it there by nine

There's gotta be something more, gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time, I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more

Long ago, there was a link to a song, IIRC, written and performed by one of the mods/admins.

Something along the lines of "I wrote this song about all the things I miss about work.... "(trails off....).

OP, creative! There's an awesome video attached to this one!

“Friday on my mind” is one of my favorites

Do the five day grind once more
I know of nothin' else that bugs me
More than workin' for the rich man
Hey! I'll change that scene one day
Today I might be mad, tomorrow I'll be glad
'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind

Gotta be “Take this job and shove it (I ain’t workin’ here no more)” [emoji28]

I like this one:

Wasn't it something like? "This is a song about my old job, and all the great things about it...(Song ends)"

This song comes to mind and I really like this cover version!

Yes, something like that, and acoustic guitar playing. -ERD50

Ha


this one all the way!!!

 

[easysurfer]

I have "Busy Man" by Miley Cyrus' dad as my theme song (on my signature tagline, or whatever that's called ).

 

[Telly]

I've adopted "Born at the right time" by Billy Mitchell/Lindisfarne as my theme song. It's not the title that does it, it's the rest of the song.

Lots of good entries!


This one also came to mind:

 

[Midpack]

Gotta be “Take this job and shove it (I ain’t workin’ here no more)” [emoji28]
