Night Shift Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's been a wreck me week
Sixty plus from dawn to dusk
In the red dirt heat
Busting it up for a couple of bucks
But it ain't no thing
Just another day 'til I'm on my way
To them cool, cool sheets and you and me

[Chorus]
Working on the night shift, baby
Dying for your touch like crazy
Racking up the overtime hours
Loving how we're working on the night shift, baby

[Verse 2]
Gonna rock it right
No need to talk, I know what you want
And what you like
'Cause I do too, yeah
I love how you leave on the lights
Not a thing between you and me
And it feels so nice when you and I are

[Chorus]
Working on the night shift, baby
Dying for your touch like crazy
Racking up the overtime hours
Loving how we're working on the night shift, baby
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah
It's been a wreck me week
Oh, but who needs sleep?

[Chorus]
When you're working on the night shift, baby
Dying for your touch like crazy
Racking up the overtime hours
Loving how we're working on the night shift, baby
Loving how we're working on the night shift
Loving how we're working on the night shift
Working on the night shift, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Referred to by country music critics as “The Working Man’s Love Song,” “Night Shift” describes a blue-collar man who claims that he only gets through what he has to do all day because of what he looks forward to with his lover at night, which he refers to as his “night shift.” The song has similarities to one of his previous singles, “Dirt on my Boots,” but this song has more sexiness and more of an R&B feel to it. It served as the fifth single on his Platinum album, California Sunrise. It peaked at 8 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
