Up Too Early

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Never seen time fly like I did this morning When I threw that alarm clock 'cross the room Pried one eye open and the man in the mirror Said, "Son, what you doin' up so soon?" Brewed a couple eggs, put bacon in the blender Coffee over-easy is a bad idea Day just stared and I'm ready to surrender Even through this fog it's clear [Chorus] It's gonna be a long day Headed the wrong way At this rate I'll be lucky if I get to work by ten And I'll fight through the pain Do my best to explain I wasn't out too late, just up too early again [Verse 2] [?] down and bought a bean burrito That might've been the mother of [?] With one bite left I looked down and saw my wrist watch Oh my God, nearly missed my break! Dad caught me packin' up my tools at 4:30 Hollered "Son, where you think you're headed to? You ain't worked a lick and your hands ain't even dirty You ain't goin' nowhere 'til the job is through" [Chorus] It's a long day Still headed the wrong way At this rate I'll be lucky if I get off of work by ten But I fight through the pain And do my best to explain I wasn't out too late, just up too early again [Bridge] It's half-past dark There won't be a place to park If I don't make some [tracks?] Gotta get home, get showered, get changed Lord, let there be a clean shirt on the rack [Chorus] It's a long day Finally headed the right way At this rate I'll be lucky if I make it to the bar by ten I have fought through the pain Tomorrow, I'll explain I wasn't out too late, just up too early again Wasn't out too late, just up too early again
