Up Too Early

[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
