[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 overeasy is a bad idea Day just stared and Im ready to surrender Even through this fog its clear [Chorus] Its gonna be a long day Headed the wrong way At this rate Ill be lucky if I get to work by ten And Ill fight through the pain Do my best to explain I wasnt out too late, just up too early again [Verse 2] [?] down and bought a bean burrito That mightve 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 430 Hollered Son, where you think youre headed to? You aint worked a lick and your hands aint even dirty You aint goin nowhere til the job is through [Chorus] Its a long day Still headed the wrong way At this rate Ill be lucky if I get off of work by ten But I fight through the pain And do my best to explain I wasnt out too late, just up too early again [Bridge] Its halfpast dark There wont be a place to park If I dont make some [tracks?] Gotta get home, get showered, get changed Lord, let there be a clean shirt on the rack [Chorus] Its a long day Finally headed the right way At this rate Ill be lucky if I make it to the bar by ten I have fought through the pain Tomorrow, Ill explain I wasnt out too late, just up too early again Wasnt out too late, just up too early again
