Early Dawnin'

You can't tell me how to live my life

But you can watch me do it if you want

I think you think you might run the tight ship

And congrats on that but

In the morning, I am recording

That's the way it should be when

That's the way it is

I'm a man and I'm a mess

See I go up and down, around

Cause there's a whirlwind in my head

Just like a hurricane

Cause there's a honey and there's a comb

There's a sugar and a cane

It's my home and it's my house

Anyhow, and it's time to go there

Early dawnin', early dawnin'

Early dawnin', early dawnin'

All my days, closer to dying

But I am, is what it is

There's been times, guilty of crimes

But I won't apologize, I ain't got time

All my nights, further from livin'

But I don't mind, take my time

We got heart, we got soul

I don't know what I've been told

Streets of heaven are overflowin'

I don't know what I've been told

Streets of heaven, the gorgeous thrones

Early dawnin' early dawnin'

Early dawnin' early dawnin'
