Last Shift
A retirement after decades of the same commute, told without sentimentality.
Your song lyrics
Last Shift [Verse] Sixty miles of dashboard light Same grey coffee every night Sixteen hundred weeks or more Through the heavy glass revolving door The leather seat is worn and flat I didn't think too much of that Just kept the radio tuned low Watching highway exits come and go [Chorus] And the engine cools upon the drive For the first time feeling half alive No ticket punched, no clock to beat Just empty slippers on the wooden floor And thirty miles of empty street Outside my door [Verse] The headlights cut the same old pine Following the painted center line Through November sleet and April rain Waiting for the westbound morning train I knew the potholes by their sound Every foot of asphalt underground Now the keys stay hanging on the wall No rush to answer when they call [Chorus] And the engine cools upon the drive For the first time feeling half alive No ticket punched, no clock to beat Just empty slippers on the wooden floor And thirty miles of empty street Outside my door [Bridge] The clockwork heart begins to slow There is nowhere I have got to go The morning paper hits the stone And I am finally alone [Chorus] And the engine cools upon the drive For the first time feeling half alive No ticket punched, no clock to beat Just empty slippers on the wooden floor And thirty miles of empty street Outside my door
