Third Shift Blues

Doug Satterthwaite
Working Third Trick

Not easy to do

It gives me the blues

Up all night

Asleep all day

No time for family

No time for play

For ten years

All I've been able to do

God I hate this shift

But what are you going to do?

Going to bed at the crack of day

Sleeping your daytime away

Working thru the night

Your body knows it's not right

What I wouldn't give for a dayshift job

Better than being a night time slob

I feel like a vampire creeping thru the night

Drive a stake in my heart I wouldn't put up a fight

I have no more to say, because now it's day

So off to bed I head

To prepare for another night

As the walking dead.
