[Verse 1]
I work every day in a trucker's café
And at night I serve drinks in a bar
I've nothing to say to the men who drop by
So that none of them get very far
[Chorus]
You may think that it's money
But that's not the reason that keeps me a-labouring on
For I'm working from morning to midnight
And I'm weeping from midnight to dawn
[Verse 2]
For once I was happy and full of the pictures
That only a young girl can plan
A lifetime of love all wrapped up in a bundle
And placed in the hands of a man
[Chorus]
But then he found another, he told me he loved her
He climbed in his rig and was gone
So I'm working from morning to midnight
And I'm weeping from midnight to dawn
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
My life isn't easy, and I'm nearly crazy
Just tryin to keep myself sane
But how can I try when I know if I saw him
I'd do it all over again?
[Chorus]
So I give all my love to my sweet little baby
Yes, it's only a form of a can
And I'm working from morning to midnight
And I'm weeping from midnight to dawn
[Outro]
Yes, I working from morning to midnight
And I'm weeping from midnight to dawn
