Woke up This Morning
Woke up this morning
Went down to the store
Man said " what you want son?"
I said " just a little bit more"
Cos I been working in the fields
I been drunk in the town
My eyes raised up to heaven
But lord I keep falling down
I'm tired and I'm troubled
All tattered and torn
My boot heels all busted
My welcome out worn
Still i get up every morning
I work hard and I lie
Sure would like to see just one thing
Real pretty fore I die
Maybe that's why I travel
Why I wandered away
Some things you don't rightly know
Some you can't hardly say
But I been all over Missouri
And I been down to the sea
And you know in my heart now
You'll travel with me
Through the hurt and the hoping
The rain and the snow
I ain't bitter or broken
I want you to know
For the few steps we shared
For our time on the road
Cuz to you I unburdened
Just a bit of my load
We each got our own troubles
Our own ideas and beliefs
And the Lord surely knows
We done got our own griefs
Still I got up this morning
And I threw some clothes on
And I fixed me some coffe
Then I wrote you this song
Went down to the store
Man said " what you want son?"
I said " just a little bit more"
Cos I been working in the fields
I been drunk in the town
My eyes raised up to heaven
But lord I keep falling down
I'm tired and I'm troubled
All tattered and torn
My boot heels all busted
My welcome out worn
Still i get up every morning
I work hard and I lie
Sure would like to see just one thing
Real pretty fore I die
Maybe that's why I travel
Why I wandered away
Some things you don't rightly know
Some you can't hardly say
But I been all over Missouri
And I been down to the sea
And you know in my heart now
You'll travel with me
Through the hurt and the hoping
The rain and the snow
I ain't bitter or broken
I want you to know
For the few steps we shared
For our time on the road
Cuz to you I unburdened
Just a bit of my load
We each got our own troubles
Our own ideas and beliefs
And the Lord surely knows
We done got our own griefs
Still I got up this morning
And I threw some clothes on
And I fixed me some coffe
Then I wrote you this song
