Lyrics
Leaving home after dark
Drivin' in your land shark
What's a poor boy to do
Turning up the old twang
Working on a chain gang
Turning all your reds to blue
It's been a long time
That you've been workin' on the midnight shift
Another union son goes down
Boy they're gonna miss you when you're gone
You're older than the subway
Higher than the skyway
Smokin' in between the lines
Watchin' for the white hats
Strike breakers, dirty rats
Tryin' not to lose your mind
It's been a long time
You've been workin' on the midnight shift
Another union son goes down
Boy they're gonna miss you when you're gone
Between the city of dreams
And the end of the line
Sleepin' in the rust belt
You never knew how it felt
To laugh this old world away
Living off of overtime
Put your life on the line
For a buck above minimum wage
It's been a long time
You've been working on the midnight shift
Another union son goes down
Boy they're gonna miss you when you're gone
Between the city of dreams
And the end of the line
