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)
