| Damn I hope no one dies on this night shift tonight
|
| Always lit up like a Roman candle
|
| Everybody comes in like they’re looking for a fight
|
| I’ll have to tell his family as he rides off to Heaven
|
| Then twenty minutes later I’m drinking my coffee down at the Seven Eleven
|
| I’m workin'
|
| Yeah I’m workin'
|
| All these truckers out here drive with one hand on the wheel and
|
| a cell phone to their ear
|
| Apologizing for something they missed or can’t get to I’m sorry to my dear
|
| Yeah but that’s the way it goes and we sure need the money
|
| This life of ours is far from perfect ain’t it honey
|
| But I’m workin'
|
| Baby I’m workin'
|
| So make the kids do their homework before you put 'em to bed
|
| And there’s dinner in the fridge make sure everybody gets fed
|
| And I know I won’t get to see you before you leave for your day
|
| I guess it’s the only time that we get to say 'I love you'
|
| Baby I love you
|
| Show the last kids on the school bus as I lay me down to sleep
|
| And I keep hurrying and worrying and wondering and praying
|
| For all my soul can keep
|
| I know I couldn’t do it if you weren’t there
|
| There’d be no home to come home to no reason to care
|
| So I just had to call you before I faded away
|
| I guess it’s the only time that we get to say 'I love you'
|
| Baby I love you
|
| I love you
|
| I love you
|
| Damn I hope no one dies on this night shift tonight |
