Wake up in the mornin'
Feelin' lousy low-down
Roll over kiss my baby
Then I blast off into town
Punch in again
Waste away and get my pay
That's okay boy
Another dollar every day
Same damn place
Same ol' time
Lord I could leave it all behind
Baby please
Ease my worried mind
Everybody else knows best
This is where you need to be
But livin' life on the clock
Never made no sense to me
Come quittin' time I'm feelin' fine
Marlboro man and a bottle of booze
No matter how I run and hide I can't shake these troubled blues
Straighten up don't pull no stunts
And pay them union dues every month
I run and hide
I just can't shake my worried mind
My heart is heavy
My mind's awry
I keep on tryin' till the day I die
So swing on by baby
Or drop a line
And come with me while I try to get mine
Pass the bottle
Let's go get high
We'll get low-down and then we'll touch the sky
