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
Early Morning Shakes
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
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
Yea, the early morning shakes
To the early morning shakes
Yea, the early morning shakes
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
Early Morning Shakes
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
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
Yea, the early morning shakes
To the early morning shakes
Yea, the early morning shakes
