lyrics

Clock says five fifty-eight

I wipe the fryer with a rag

My name tag hangs on the hook

By a cracked blue paper bag

Grease in the cuff of my sleeve

Receipt tape curled by the till

Columbus rain on the glass

And my boots by the sill

Boss says, “Two more minutes”

I nod like I’ll stay

I fold my apron slow

Like I’m tucking it away

Last shift home, last shift home

I say it under my breath

Last shift home, last shift home

While I count up what is left

Last shift home, last shift home

I know this place too well

Last shift home, last shift home

I’m gonna miss this hell

The coffee urn spits steam

On the dented metal sink

The mop bucket leaves a line

Where the floorboards sink

Marisol at the back door

Hands me one last paper cup

She says, “Don’t be a stranger”

I laugh and look up

One more sweep of the aisle

One more key in the lock

The vending machine hums

Like a clock inside a clock

Last shift home, last shift home

I say it under my breath

Last shift home, last shift home

While I count up what is left

Last shift home, last shift home

I know this place too well

Last shift home, last shift home

I’m gonna miss this hell

In the glovebox, my lunch tin

And a pen with a cracked cap

The radio in my truck

Keeps turning back, turning back

I hated every early bell

Every stain on my hands

Still, the whole damn crew

Feels like worn-in plans

Last shift home, last shift home

I say it under my breath

Last shift home, last shift home

While I count up what is left

Last shift home, last shift home

I know this place too well

Last shift home, last shift home

I’m gonna miss this hell
