Early Morning Shakes lyrics
by David Allan Coe
[Verse 1]
I've been out here praying for sunshine
All I see is pouring rain
I've been out 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
[Verse 2]
This bus is headed to hell now
At 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
It's more then I can take
Just giving everything I got
'Til there's nothing left but the early morning shakes
Early morning shakes
[Bridge]
I
Wanna break away
And just be myself sometimes
And get back all those things I lost along the way
To the early morning shakes
