[Verse 1: Kenny Chesney]
Shift work, hard work
Tired body and a blue-collar shirt
And a baseball cap
Union-made
He's hot, sweat drops
'Round the clock, the door never locks
And the noise never stops
Night or day

[Refrain: Kenny Chesney & George Strait]
Workin' seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven

[Verse 2: George Strait]
Shift work, tough work
For the busy convenience store clerk
Two feet that hurt
Goin' insane
She's mad at some lad
Drove off and didn't pay for his gas
And he won't be the last
'Round-the-clock pain

[Refrain: Kenny Chesney & George Strait]
Workin' seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven
[Chorus: Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Both]
I'm talkin' 'bout a bunch of shift work
A big ol' pile of shift work
Seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven

[Verse 3: Kenny Chesney]
Well, I worked shift work
For ten years, man, I hated that work
Then I made a break
With the money I saved
It took me to the beach
To have a beer by the edge of the sea
In this 'round-the-clock place
I drank my money away

[Refrain: Kenny Chesney & George Strait]
We partied seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven

[Chorus: George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Both]
I'm talkin' 'bout a bunch of shift work
A big ol' pile of shift work
Seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven
[Chorus: Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Both]
I'm talkin' 'bout a bunch of shift work
A big ol' pile of shift work
Seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven
Seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven
