I been out here praying for sunshine, all I see is pouring rain.
I been out here praying for good times, and all I get is more pain.
There's a monkey on my back, I 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 voice is headed to hell now, least that's what the old folks say.
You only got a little while to shine before you fade away.
Out here on the highway, there's more that I can take.
Just giving everything I got til there's nothing left but the early morning shakes, early morning shakes.
I wanna break away.
Just be myself sometimes 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 blonde hair with the 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, and I then I gave her the early morning shakes.
Yeah the early morning shakes. To the early morning shakes.
Yeah the early morning shakes.
