8 Hours After Midnight

lyrics

Yeah, it’s 8 hours after midnight and I gotta go to work.
I been drinkin’ that Scotch whiskey, now I gotta go to work.
Fix myself hot coffee, put on my clean shirt.

Just 10 hours after midnight and I’m takin’ me a break.
Spent a long hour movin’ paper, now I gotta take a break.
Another cigarette, another cup of coffee, see how long I can take.

18 hours after midnight, goin’ home and go to bed.
There’s just 6 more hours to midnight, so I go home and go to bed.
If I don’t get some sleep tonight, in the mornin’ I’ll be dead.

Yeah, now it’s almost midnight and it’s time to sing the blues.
Yeah, ladies, wine and carryin’ on, singin’ me some blues.
Now don’t you never judge a man till you’ve walked in his hundred-dollar shoes.

My head’s so full of whiskey! And I can’t find my shoes!
Baby, it’s no wonder why a man got to sing the blues!
Baby, it’s no wonder why a man got to sing the blues!

8 hours after midnight and I gotta go to work.
I been drinkin’ wine and carryin’ on, and I gotta go to work.
I fix myself hot coffee, put on my clean shirt.
