I'm Workin'

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

And 20 minutes later I'm drinkin' my coffee down at the 7-11

I'm workin', yea I'm workin



All theses truckers out here drive with one hand on the wheel

and a cellphone to their ear

Apologizing for somethin' they missed or can't get too,

I'm sorry too my dear

Yea but thats 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 them to bed

And theres 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 its the only time that we get to say: I love you, baby i love you



So the last kid is on the school bus as I lay me down to sleep

And I keep hurryin' and worryin' and wonderin'

and prayin' for all my soul can keep

And 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 its 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.
