Graveyard Shift Lyrics - No Depression - Uncle Tupelo

Hometown, same town blues same old walls closin' in 

Oh what a life a mess can be 

I'm sittin' here thinkin' of you, won't you give 

A few thoughts to me 

Well, time won't wait, better open the gate 

Get up and start what needs to be done 

It's windin' down, there's much you missed 

Workin' on that graveyard shift 

Well, I'm not sayin' there's nothin' wrong as the day comes along 

What I see is true I could learn to believe 

Can't look away, powers that be might take it all away 

Together we burn, together we burn away 

Some say a land of paradise 

Some say a land of pain 

Well, which side are you lookin' from 

Some people have it all and some wanna gain 

Well a man in a tie gonna 

Break his twenty dollar bill 

There's plenty of reasons in this world 

Move along or stand and still 

But I'm not sayin' there's nothin' wrong as the day comes along 

What I see is true I could learn to believe 

Can't look away, powers that be might take it all away 

Together we burn, together we burn away 

There's too much time spent looking for a reason 

It's the simple ones that beat the most truth 

Oh, what a life a mess can be, I'm sittin' here thinkin' of you 

Won't you give a few thoughts to me? 

Well, time won't wait, better open the gate 

Get up and start what needs to be done 

It's runnin' down, there's much you missed 

Workin' on that graveyard shift 

But I'm not sayin' there's nothin' wrong as the day comes along 

What I see is true I could learn to believe 

Can't look away, powers that be might take it all away 

Together we burn, together we burn away
