Shiftwork (song)

Shiftwork (song)

"Shiftwork" is the title of a song written by Troy Jones, and recorded by American country music artists Kenny Chesney and George Strait. It was released in December 2007 as the third single from Chesney's album Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates.

Initially, "Shiftwork" charted as an album cut, receiving unsolicited airplay which brought the song up to number 42 on the country music charts prior to its release. Before the song was officially released, it was credited to both Chesney and Strait. Once it was officially made a single, however, Strait's name was removed from the song, due to contractual agreements between his label (MCA Nashville) and Chesney's Label (BNA Records). Starting with the Billboard chart dated for February 9, 2008, the song was once again billed as "Kenny Chesney duet with George Strait".
