[Verse 1]
G         C
I wait on tables here
G                 C
Ain’t quite how I planned it
G              C            
Pay’s not that great, but I do 
D             G
alright in tips

G                 C
I took the job to get me by
        G               C
When my husband left me stranded
G             C         D       
I still don’t know just where 
          G
the hell he is

G               C
After dark, six nights a week
  G               C
I pull this apron snug
G              C        D       
Glance up at a dusty TV blaring 
      G
local news

G             C
Then I’m everybody’s best friend
        G            C
Dealing coffee like a drug
G               C           D   
The whole place smells like 
             G
fries and diesel fuel


[Chorus]

C              G
Every shift is different
D                     G
And every shift’s the same
          C              G
Someone’s driving to the Promised 
Land
         Am                 D
Or they’re running from the pain
     C                G         
It’s mostly long-haul truckers, 
Am      G    C
runaways and thieves
Em                           C
Everybody’s got somewhere to go
                            D      
They all stop here on their way to 
      G C Em D
Mexico


[Verse 2]
G              C
I still think about that gal
    G              C
Who came from Tucumcari
G               C               
Off to find her sister that she 
D                  G
just found out she had

G                      C
And those young lovers on the run
           G             C
She wasn’t old enough to marry
G                    C           
Then the cops showed up with one 
D                 G
really pissed off dad


[Chorus]
C              G
Every shift is different
D                     G
And every shift’s the same
          C              G
Someone’s driving to the Promised 
Land
         Am                 D
Or they’re running from the pain
     C                G         
It’s mostly long-haul truckers, 
Am      G    C
runaways and thieves
Em                           C
Everybody’s got somewhere to go
                            D      
They all stop here on their way to

Mexico


[Bridge]
F                      Gsus4 G
With each passing of a season
C               Em
I wonder if I’m stuck
F                          Gsus4 G
Or maybe I’m waitin’ for a reason
C                    D
Or a helping of good luck


[Chorus]
     C                G         
It’s mostly long-haul truckers, 
Am      G   C
runaways and me
Em                               
Maybe I’ll head south again, who 
C
knows
                        D     
We all stop here on our way to 
       G C Em D G C Em D
Mexico
