Well,
C 
the bar was packed for a

Everybody in the place was tight,
F 
C 
Em 
make no exception for me. I've been drinking to my traveling days. I should have been at work long ago.
Am 
C 
But tonight I   ain't com
F 
ing in, tonight I just can't go
I should be making shoes
Gm 
on  the night shift
F 
But I can't drive in through the
snowdrifts
Em 
That's what I told them at the factory
Dm 
F 
I wonder how the boys
on the night shift
G 
C 
Ever got along without me
Well the guys I work with are lifers here
Em 
They talk shotguns and
TV
Am 
C 
They can call me names in
French or
F 
English
And do it frequently
C 
And their wives,
they don't smile much
Em 
But their hearts are made of gold
Am 
Well they run their families
C 
F 
But make it look like they
do what they are told
I should be making shoes
Gm

the snow drifts
That's what I told them at the factory
Dm

So bartender pour me another shot
Em 
And back it with a beer
Am 
Tonight I am thanking heaven
C 
F 
I  can still get out of here
C 
Cause for a while I thought
I could settle down
Em 
Then I called my own bluff
Am 
C 
Well the road gets longer as I get older
G 
F 
But I still got the stuff
I should be making shoes
G 
Gm 
on the night shift
F 
But I can't drive him
through the snow drips

That's what I told him at the factory
F 
I wonder how the boys on the night shift
G 
Ever got along
F 
I wonder how the boys
on the ninth shift
G 
Gm 
G 
C 
Ever got along without me
