Night Shift versuri

Night Shift lyrics by Bill Morrissey

Verse 1
Well, the bar was packed for a Tuesday night
The Bruins were on TV
Everybody in the place was tight
Make no exception for me
Well, I’ve been drinking to my traveling days
I should’ve been at work long ago
But tonight I ain’t coming in
Tonight I just can’t go

Chorus
I should be making shoes on the night shift
But I can’t drive in through the snow drifts
That’s what I told ‘em at the factory
I wonder how the boys on the night shift
Ever got along without me

Verse 2
Well, the guys I work with are lifers here
They talk shotguns and TV
They can call me names in French or English
And do it frequently
And their wives, they don’t smile much
But their hearts are made of gold
Well, they run their families but make it look
Like they do what they are told

Chorus
I should be making shoes on the night shift
But I can’t drive in through the snow drifts
That’s what I told ‘em at the factory
I wonder how the boys on the night shift
Ever got along without me

Verse 3
So bartender, pour me another shot
And back it with a beer
Tonight I am thanking heaven
I can still get out of here
‘Cause for a while I thought I could settle down
Then I called my own bluff
Well, the road gets longer as I get older
But I still got the stuff

Chorus
I should be making shoes on the night shift
But I can’t drive in through the snow drifts
That’s what I told ‘em at the factory
I wonder how the boys on the night shift
Ever got along
I wonder how the boys on the night shift
Ever got along without me
