Lyrics

GRAVEYARD SHIFT (by Lynda Kay Parker)

VERSE 1
I'll be working on the graveyard shift,
Until I die.
Workin' so hard to get by
Slingin' that hash,
Picking up trash
Lord knows I really need the cash
Working on the graveyard shift
Until I die.

VERSE 2
When my shift is done,
I come home bleary-eyed.
With the porch light on
And the sun is on the rise.
Pull down the shades
Sleep all day
Get up about evening time
I’ll be working at the graveyard shift
Until I die.

CHORUS
Working on the graveyard shift
Until I die.
I can't get out no matter how I try.
I guess it must be something down deep inside,
That keeps me working on the graveyard shift
Until I die.

VERSE 3
Grab a bite to eat and make it to work by 10,
Throw my apron on to do it all over again
Slingin' that hash,
Picking up trash
Lord knows I really bust my ass
Working on the graveyard shift
Until I die.

I’ll be working on the graveyard shift,
If you see me don’t forget to tip,
Working on the graveyard shift…until I die.
