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 Yeah, the early morning shakes This bus is headed to hell now 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 than I can take Just giving everything I got 'Til there's nothing but the early morning shakes Early morning shakes I wanna 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 Yeah, the early morning shakes To the early morning shakes Yeah, the early morning shakes --- Early Morning Shakes - Whiskey Myers
