Night Shift Lyrics
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I know this lady, way down in my country
She was so pretty thet my eyes threw disguises at me
An we would sit and wonder 'bout the future
But now i'm thinkin' that today sounds fine to me
Well i've been working for days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head,
said i've been tired in my head...
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I know this lady with eyes as blue as the sea
Now we would sit and stare directly through me
And that laugh would take me to the future
Throught out the past, there was nothing left for me
But i've been working for days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head
Said i've been tired in my head...
Its 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady runnin' through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed.....
Its 3 a.m., I wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran outta money, i'm lookin for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed (x2)
Wanna go to bed...
wanna wanna go to go to bed...
wanna wanna wanna go to bed....
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
She was so pretty thet my eyes threw disguises at me
An we would sit and wonder 'bout the future
But now i'm thinkin' that today sounds fine to me
Well i've been working for days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head,
said i've been tired in my head...
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
Now we would sit and stare directly through me
And that laugh would take me to the future
Throught out the past, there was nothing left for me
But i've been working for days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head
Said i've been tired in my head...
I got a lady runnin' through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed.....
I got a lady running through my head
Ran outta money, i'm lookin for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed (x2)
wanna wanna go to go to bed...
wanna wanna wanna go to bed....

i can't believe no one has writen about this song!! this is am awesome OAR song ! it gets anyone into such a good mood and i can totally relate to it. everyone needs money and everyone has that "one" in there head! but that one "with eyes as blue as the sea" just "looks directly through me" GEZZ!!!! he hit the nail RIGHT on the head with that one!
This is my favorite Oar song. I love the live version! I this that is sums it what every guy feels at one point or another ; )
great song.
live version with stir it up is fucking awesome
a great versio of this is on a cartoon by cartoon joe i believe
I always thought that it was a love that was discovered while on cocaine. Then its 3 AM and hes trying to go to bed, with a lady (his love) and a lady (the white biatch) all going through his head at once. That would also explain why he can be working full time and still have no money
yea, im sure OAR is really into the drug scene
this is a great song, especially the live version where it goes into stir it up,, and i especially like the lyric change in the live version "with eyes as brown as can be"
reflectyion, ure thinking to much on these lyrics, its definetly not about cocaine
I want to kill this song.
This song is about Cocaine. The lady that is running through his head is Cocaine, aka "white girl". It is 3am, he can not go to bed even though he wants to, he ran out of money on the night shift(spending it on cocaine.) He has been working 5 days full time but never has any money...what are your thoughts?
Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard. First of all, it doesnt say anything about a "white girl" so that reference is out the window. You've obviously never been in a similar situation to the one the song writer was in. I know I kinda am right now being a college student. I'm in love with my girlfriend and want to keep buying her things and taking care of her so the bills keep piling up so I'm working the night shift to try and get ahead but I still have no money because i spend it all on her....
