Midnight Shift

If Annie puts her hair up on her head

Paints them lips up bright bright red

Wears that dress that fits real tight

Starts stayin' out 'til the middle of the night



Says that a friend gave her a lift

Well, Annie's been workin' on the midnight shift



If she acts a little funny, seems a little strange

Starts spending your money for brand new things

Tells you that she wants to use the car

And never explains what she wants it for



Brother, well, there ain't no ifs

Annie's been workin' on the midnight shift



Well, early in the morning when the sun comes up

You look at ol' Annie and she looks a little rough

You tell your honey "Get outta that bed"

She says, "Leave me alone, I'm just about dead"



If you've got a good mama that's stayin' at home

You'd better enjoy it 'cause it won't last long

When you think everything's all right

She starts steppin' around in the middle of the night



Brother, there just ain't no ifs

Annie's been workin' on the midnight shift
