[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
