"Midnight 'Til Dawn" lyrics

"Midnight 'Til Dawn"

I work everyday in a trucker's cafe
And at night I serve drinks in a bar
I've nothin' to say to the men who drop by
So that none of them get very far

You may think that it's money
But that's not the reason that keeps me a laborin' on
Cause I'm workin' from mornin' till midnight
And I'm weepin' from midnight till dawn

For once I was happy and full of the futures
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

But then he found another
He told me he loved her he jumped in his rig and was gone
So I'm workin' from mornin' till midnight
And I'm weepin' from midnight till dawn

Oh, 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

So I give all my love
To my sweet little baby as only a poor mother can
And I'm workin' from mornin' till midnight
And I'm weepin' from midnight till dawn
