Woke Up This Morning Song Lyrics by Alabama 3
I’ll take you downDeep down to the frontline(Deep down)
You woke up this morningGot yourself a gunYour mama always said you’d be the chosen one
She said, you’re one in a millionYou got to burn to shineBut you were born under a bad signWith a blue moon in your eyes
When you woke up this morningAll that love had goneYour papa never told youAbout right and wrong
But you’re, but you’re looking good, babyI believe that you’re feeling fine, shame about itBorn under a bad signWith a blue moon in your eyes
So sing it nowWoke up this morning(You got a blue moon)Got a blue moon in your eyes(So sad)(Goddamn, a goddamn shame about it)Woke up this morning(You got a blue moon)Got a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morningThe world turned upside downLord above, thing’s ain’t been the sameSince the Blues walked into town
But you’re, but you’re one in a million‘Cause you’ve got that shotgun shine, shame about itBorn under a bad signWith a blue moon in your eyes, yeah
Woke up this morning(You got a blue moon)Got a blue moon in your eyes(So sad)(Goddamn, a goddamn shame about it)Woke up this morning(You got a blue moon)Got a blue moon in your eyes
Yeah, I know youYou just can’t help yourself, yeah
You just can’t help yourselfYou just can’t help yourself
When you woke up this morning everything was goneBy half past ten your head was going ding-dongRinging like a bell from your head down to your toesLike a voice tryna tell you there’s something you should know
Last night you were flying, but today you’re so lowAin’t it times like these makes you wonder if you’ll ever knowThe meaning of things as they appear to the othersWives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers
Don’t you wish you didn’t function?Don’t you wish you didn’t think beyond the next paycheckAnd the next little drink?Well, you do, so make up your mind to go on‘Cause when you woke up this morningEverything you had was gone
Woke up this morning(Woke up this morning)Woke up this morning(Woke up this morning)Woke up this morning
You wanna be myYou wanna be the chosen oneYeah, you know itYou just can’t help yourself, yeah
Woke up this morning(When you woke up this morning)Woke up this morning(Woke up this morning)
Woke up this morningYou got yourself a gunGot yourself a gunGot yourself a gun
