Take This Stinking Keyboard And Shove It (Tribute to Johnny Paycheck) Take this stinking keyboard and shove it I ain't awritin' here no damn more. Gone is my inspiration, O' how I loved it damn it flew right out the back door! My muse, she done left me in a hard pinch with another unfinished score. Wicked her anger and she don't give an inch no matter how hard I implore. Last night her fleeing with my heartaches she dared called me "poetic bore". I write and rewrite, no matter how many takes my poems still hit the damn floor! So take this damn old pen and just shove it I ain't penning here no more. Gone is the ardor, O' how I dearly loved it down so very deep in my core. My muse, she done ran away all ascreamin' raced away to a foreign shore. This is a damn nightmare, I ain't adreamin' never been this damn bad before! Take this stinking keyboard and shove it I ain't awritin' here no damn more. Gone is my inspiration, O' how I loved it damn it flew right out the back door! Robert J. Lindley, 10-25-2015 Note : Tribute given to Johnny Paycheck, for his version of , "Take This Job and Shove It" , with additional tribute to the musical genius , singer/songwriter David Allan Coe .. (1.)- Johnny Paycheck Donald Eugene Lytle (May 31, 1938 – February 19, 2003), better known by his stage name Johnny Paycheck,[1] was an American country music singer, multi-instrumentalist and Grand Ole Opry member most famous for recording the David Allan Coe song "Take This Job and Shove It". He achieved his greatest success in the 1970s as a major force in country music's "Outlaw Movement" popularized by artists such as David Allan Coe, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Billy Joe Shaver, and Merle Haggard. In the 1980s, his music career slowed for drug, alcohol and legal problems. He served a prison sentence in the early 1990s and his declining health effectively ended his career in early 2000.
