Uncle Tupelo - Graveyard Shift Lyrics

Submitted by: AUTO-ADD
Current Rating: None
Hometown, the same town blues
Same old walls closing in
Oh what a life a mess can be
I'm sitting here thinking of you
Won't you give a few thoughts to me?

Well time won't wait, better open the gate
Get out and start, it needs to be done
It's winding down, there's much you miss
Working on that graveyard shift

But I'm not saying things won't go wrong as each day comes along
If what I see is true I could learn to believe
Can't look away
The powers that be might take it all away
Together we'll burn, together we'll burn it away

Some say land of paradise
Some say land of pain
Well, which side are you looking from?
Some people have it all
And some have it all to gain

Well a man in a tie'll bum your dime
Before he'll break his twenty dollar bill
There's plenty of reasons in this world
For movin' along or standing still

But I'm not saying things won't go wrong as each day comes along
If what I see is true I could learn to believe
Can't look away
The powers that be might take it all away
Together we'll burn, together we'll burn it away

There's too much time spent looking for a reason
Seems the simple ones beat the most truth
Oh, what a life a mess can be
I'm sitting here thinking of you
Won't you give a few thoughts to me?

Well, time won't wait, better open the gate
Get out and start, it needs to be done
It's winding down, there's much you miss
Working on that graveyard shift

But I'm not saying things won't go wrong as the day comes along
If what I see is true I could learn to believe
Can't look away
The powers that be might take it all away
Together we'll burn, together we'll burn it away
