Get the Job Done
austin burke Lyrics

I showed up in this little big town
No clue what was going down
Here to find my place and my piece of the dream

I was a poor boy far from home
Writing my songs with a voice of my own
I got me a job and the boss man said to me

He said son let me make it crystal clear this is how we do around here
Its yes sir and yes ma'am if you're wondering who's the boss I am

At the end of the day we know how to have a little fun
No excuses no drama
Treat every woman like she was your momma
Suit up show up shut up and get the job done
Yeah suit up show up shut up and get the job done

So I saved some money recorded some songs
I met some people to pass it along
I kept on rockin' and one day I got a call
So I rode on down to music row with my guitar case and my ball cap on
I sang a few songs and the record man said to me

He said son let me tell you if you want the gig don't let your head get too big
'Cause around here its yes sir and yes ma'am if you're wondering who's the boss I am
At the end of the day we know how to have a little fun
No excuses no drama
Treat every woman like she was your momma
Suit up show up shut up and get the job done
Yeah suit up show up shut up and get the job done

One day I'll have a son of my own I'm gonna sing him this little song

Boy its yes sir and yes ma'am if you're wondering who's the boss I am
At the end of the day we gonna have a little fun
No excuses no drama
Treat every woman like she was your momma
Suit up show up shut up and get the job done
Yeah suit up show up shut up and get the job done
Yeah suit up show up shut up and get the job done
Get the job done

Austin Burke could write the book on being a millennial. Growing up in the 1990's in Phoenix, Arizona, Austin was a huge country music fan and began singing as soon as he could walk. At the tender age of of 3, he sang the national anthem for both the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks and at a chance meeting with his hero Garth Brooks at a Padre's spring training game, his destiny was set.

Growing up in the 1990's in Phoenix, Arizona, Austin was a huge country music fan and began singing as soon as he could walk. At the tender age of of 3, he sang the national anthem for both the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks and at a chance meeting with his hero Garth Brooks at a Padre's spring training game, his destiny was set. He soon won a coveted spot singing "Friends In Low Places" on the Rosie O'Donell show, not once but twice and when Rosie asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up he said a "singing baseball player". Such are the early experiences that dreams are made of.

Austin is currently making words rhyme and serving his time waiting on tables (and waiting on the tables to turn.) He's singing at writer's nights and tearing up the honky-tonks, paying his dues and livin' the dream in Tennessee. To quote his grandmother and the title of one of his own songs, Austin says it's his job these days to just "Suit Up Show Up Shut Up And Get The Job Done".
