"Late Shift"
	JACKOPIERCE
	From the Album "Bringing On the Weather" & "Decade"


	And I know your last words were don't call
	But I've been driving through a sorry night
	And I hear your Dear John through the hum of the highway
	On a late shift on a long ride saying

	[Chorus]
	John, Dear John
	You've got a lot to learn about loving me
	And I know you try but we've just run out of time

	There's a rain cutting shadows through my headlights
	On a stretch of road between dusk and dawn
	In the first light I lose the running fight
	And I stop to find a phone, and you saying

	[Chorus]

	We've used up all our time.

	[Bridge]
	And I know what the silence on the wire is
	In the waking hours of a nameless day
	And I know you can't do your loving
	From a phone booth off the highway

	900 miles or so away
	But you don't fret about the bottom dropping out
	It'll be alright, it'll turn around
	You just dig in friend and keep your powder dry
	You keep your powder dry

	[Chorus 2]
	John, Dear John
	You've got a lot to learn about loving me
	And I know you try but you can't do it from the highway
