[Verse 1: Kenny Chesney]

Shift work, hard work

Tired body and a blue-collar shirt

And a baseball cap

Union-made

He's hot, sweat drops

'Round the clock, the door never locks

And the noise never stops

Night or day

[Refrain: Kenny Chesney & George Strait]

Workin' seven to three

Three to eleven

Eleven to seven

[Verse 2: George Strait]

Shift work, tough work

For the busy convenience store clerk

Two feet that hurt

Goin' insane

She's mad at some lad

Drove off and didn't pay for his gas

And he won't be the last

'Round-the-clock pain

[Refrain: Kenny Chesney & George Strait]

Workin' seven to three

Three to eleven

Eleven to seven

[Chorus: Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Both]

I'm talkin' 'bout a bunch of shift work

A big ol' pile of shift work

Seven to three

Three to eleven

Eleven to seven

[Verse 3: Kenny Chesney]

Well, I worked shift work

For ten years, man, I hated that work

Then I made a break

With the money I saved

It took me to the beach

To have a beer by the edge of the sea

In this 'round-the-clock place

I drank my money away

[Refrain: Kenny Chesney & George Strait]

We partied seven to three

Three to eleven

Eleven to seven

[Chorus: George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Both]

I'm talkin' 'bout a bunch of shift work

A big ol' pile of shift work

Seven to three

Three to eleven

Eleven to seven

[Chorus: Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Both]

I'm talkin' 'bout a bunch of shift work

A big ol' pile of shift work

Seven to three

Three to eleven

Eleven to seven

Seven to three

Three to eleven

Eleven to seven
