    Story Behind the Song
    I had received notice from my supervisor that I had to cover the 3:30 to midnight shift on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the day after.
    Summing up my holiday as shot, I wrote this song at around 2:00 in the morning after getting off of the shift. I was going to mention the holiday
    aspect, but it's too damn depressing to be a Christmas song!

    Lyrics
    The full moon is heading toward my eyes
    I should be sleeping that ain't no lie
    When that happens you've got the second shift blues
    Second shift blues

    Afterwork I used to walk the town
    Now there is'nt anybody around
    Well kick your feet up yeah, when you've got a case of these blues
    Second shift blues

    My friends would call after the day was spent
    Now none of them can figure out just where I went
    That tends to happen when you've got a case of these blues

    So moonlight don't you shine anymore
    Because it's you in particular that I ignore
    I get pretty rude moon, when I get a case of these blues
    Second shift blues, second shift blues, second shift blues second shift blues
