Early Morning Shakes - Whiskey Myers

I've been out here praying for sunshine

All I see is pouring rain

I've been out here 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

This bus is headed to hell now

At least that's what the old folks say

You only get 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

Until there's nothing but the early morning shakes

Early morning shakes

I wanna break away and just be myself sometime

And get back all those things I lost along the way

To the early morning shakes

Jack Daniels in her coffee

Ice water in her veins

Bleach blond hair with a rose tattoo

Maybelline and white rain

I took her back to the woods

Listening to when the levee breaks

I reached over and took her hand

Then I gave her the early morning shakes

Yea the early morning shakes

To the early morning shakes

Yea the early morning shakes
