lyrics

Clock says six-forty-five, I’m tying my lace

Blue badge on my chest, same stain on my face

Printer still coughing out one more white page

I fold up my apron, same corner, same cage

One more tray to clear, one more sweep of the floor

The kettle clicks once, then it’s quiet in the store

I look at the clock like, “hold on small for me”

By tomorrow morning, I’m gone to be free

Last shift, last shift, last shift, last shift

I’m out of this place, last shift, last shift

Last shift, last shift, last shift, last shift

I’ll miss this place, last shift

The manager walks by, with his keys and his frown

I’m wiping the counter, then I clock out now

The bench by the gate where the riders all wait

Even that broken fan had a way to feel great

One more tray to clear, one more sweep of the floor

The kettle clicks once, then it’s quiet in the store

I look at the clock like, “hold on small for me”

By tomorrow morning, I’m gone to be free

Last shift, last shift, last shift, last shift

I’m out of this place, last shift, last shift

Last shift, last shift, last shift, last shift

I’ll miss this place, last shift

My hands know the buckets, the mop and the bin

My ears know the buzzer when the customers swing in

I hated the hours, but the rhythm fit my skin

So I wave to the doorway, and let the new day in

Last shift, last shift, last shift, last shift

I’m out of this place, last shift, last shift

Last shift, last shift, last shift, last shift

I’ll miss this place, last shift
