I WOKE UP THIS MORNING

©2002 - music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle

I woke up this morning

Feeling bad

Couldn't remember

All the booze I had
This burning inside of me

My heart could explode

I tell you man
I'm on overload

I woke up this morning

Rise and shine
Get off my case

Give me some more time

This burning inside of me
My brain is so fried

I tell you man

I think I've died


(Chorus:)

I don't want your pity

I don't want your blame
I don't need a reason to belong

Give me some highway
All the way home

I'm tellin' you man

Leave me alone


I woke up this morning

Heard bad news

Three thousand dead
Who all did we lose

This burning inside of me

My stomach's on fire
I tell you man

Don't preach to the choir

I woke up this morning
Really old

Couldn't remember

All the lies I told

This burning I can feel
Is killin' me inside

I'm tellin' you man

Yesterday I died


(Chorus)
