lyrics

At 06:10, I clocked in

Blue hairnet, chipped nail, paper-thin

The fryer hissed like a mean machine

I knew this floor, and it knew me

The key ring bit against my thigh

Receipt roll spun, then ran bone-dry

You said “one more,” I said “all right”

Last shift glow in the breakroom light

Count the cups, count the change

Keep my face and keep my name

One more lap through the rusted door

Then I won’t badge in anymore

One more shift, one more shift

One more shift, one more shift

One more shift, one more shift

I’ll miss it when it’s gone

Fifteen minutes, then the close

Mop bucket sloshed by the locker rows

Cold pizza box on the vending top

Sticky floor where the old gum stopped

You laughed at me by the sink

Said “don’t quit till you take the pink”

I packed my pen and my black cap too

Every bad day had a crew like you

One more shift, one more shift

One more shift, one more shift

One more shift, one more shift

I’ll miss it when it’s gone

Back door open, air hit hard

Bus lights blinking in the parking yard

My name tag off, my hands still stained

I hate this place, but it called my name

One more shift, one more shift

One more shift, one more shift

One more shift, one more shift

I’ll miss it when it’s gone
