Early Morning Shakes

I've been out here praying for sunshine All I see is pouring rain I've been out here praying for good times And all I get is more pain There's a monkey on my back I've got some habits that I can't break So I'm out here standing in the sunrise With a case of the early morning shakes (ah ah ah ah) Early morning shakes (ah ah ah ah) This bus is headed to hell now At least that's what the old folks say You only get a little while to shine Before you fade away Out here on the highway It's more then I can take Just giving everything I got Until there's nothing but the early morning shakes (ah ah ah ah) Early morning shakes (ah ah ah ah) I-I'll break away and just be myself sometime And get back all those things I lost along the way To the early morning shakes Jack Daniels in her coffee Ice water in her veins Bleach blond hair with a rose tattoo Maybelline and white rain I took her back to the woods Listening to "When the Levee Breaks" I reached over and took her hand Then I gave her the early morning shakes, ah ah ah ah Yea, the early morning shakes (ah ah ah ah) To the early morning shakes (ah ah ah ah) Yea, the early morning shakes (ah ah ah ah) Yeah, yeah
