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
