Sawyer Brown - Graveyard Shift lyrics

The only way to make a livin' round here Is down there on the loading dock My daddy done it for 35 years And old is all he ever got Guess I was meant to follow in his footsteps Just like an a**embly line But it's amazing how long the nights get When I'm working on the graveyard shift Yes I'm working on the graveyard shift Wishin' I could give someone a piece of my mind There must be somethin' better than this Bein' buried alive where the sun never shines Workin' on the graveyard shift I've got some plans about leaving this place Made 'em back in '79 But come next August I'll be up for a raise Maybe even get off the line So every mornin' over coffee at Denny's Starin out at I-95 I cuss the part of my soul that keeps sending me Down there on the graveyard shift Yes I'm working on the graveyard shift Wishing I could give someone a piece of my mind There must be somethin' better than this Being buried alive where the sun never shines Working on the graveyard shift There'll be a better day I know I'll find a way That's what we learn to say Working on the graveyard shift Wishing I could give someone a piece of my mind There must be somethin' better than this Being buried alive where the sun never shines Working on the graveyard shift Yes I'm working on the graveyard shift Wishing I could give someone a piece of my mind There must be something better than this Being buried alive where the sun never shines Working on the graveyard shift Yes I'm working, whoa-o Wishing I could give someone a piece of my mind There must be something better than this Being buried alive where the sun never shines Working on the graveyard shift
