Graveyard Shift

Hometown, same town blues same old walls closin' in Oh what a life a mess can be I'm sittin' here thinkin' of you, won't you give A few thoughts to me Well, time won't wait, better open the gate Get up and start what needs to be done It's windin' down, there's much you missed Workin' on that graveyard shift Well, I'm not sayin' there's nothin' wrong as the day comes along What I see is true I could learn to believe Can't look away, powers that be might take it all away Together we burn, together we burn away Some say a land of paradise Some say a land of pain Well, which side are you lookin' from Some people have it all and some wanna gain Well a man in a tie gonna Break his twenty dollar bill There's plenty of reasons in this world Move along or stand and still But I'm not sayin' there's nothin' wrong as the day comes along What I see is true I could learn to believe Can't look away, powers that be might take it all away Together we burn, together we burn away There's too much time spent looking for a reason It's the simple ones that beat the most truth Oh, what a life a mess can be, I'm sittin' here thinkin' of you Won't you give a few thoughts to me? Well, time won't wait, better open the gate Get up and start what needs to be done It's runnin' down, there's much you missed Workin' on that graveyard shift But I'm not sayin' there's nothin' wrong as the day comes along What I see is true I could learn to believe Can't look away, powers that be might take it all away Together we burn, together we burn away
