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 Then twenty minutes later I'm drinking my coffee down at the Seven Eleven I'm workinYeah I'm workin All these truckers out here drive with one hand on the wheel and a cell phone to their ear Apologizing for something they missed or can't get to I'm sorry to my dear Yeah but that's 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 workinBaby I'm workin So make the kids do their homework before you put 'em to bed And there's 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 it's the only time that we get to say 'I love youBaby I love you Show the last kids on the school bus as I lay me down to sleep And I keep hurrying and worrying and wondering and praying For all my soul can keep 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 it's the only time that we get to say 'I love youBaby I love you I love you I love you Damn I hope no one dies on this night shift tonight
