Night Shift

Lyrics

[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
