Night shift is a term associated with evening-based working periods. To put it differently, if a person is employed between the hours of 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., he or she is said to be working ‘the night shift’. And in this song, Jon Pardi does indeed take on the role of a working-class gentleman. However, the “night shift” he is referring to primarily concerns him getting busy with his lady.

For instance, he can put in over 60 hours of labor a week, toiling from sunrise to sunset. Nothing about this situation appears agreeable, but he doesn’t seem to mind. Instead he finds solace in the fact that eventually he will spend time with his lady.

For example, while the first verse is dedicated to highlighting his work ethic, the second is centered on the evening-based bedroom interactions between him and his shorty. Ultimately, the sentiment that seems to be expressed is that the loving touch of evenings spent with her counteract the hard hours he has to put in on the job.
