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
