Woke Up This Morning

I'm gonna take you down

Deep down to the front lines

You woke up this morning

Got yourself a gun

Mama always said you'd be

The Chosen One

She said you're one in a million

You've got to burn to shine

But you were born under a bad sign

With a blue moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning

All that love had gone

Your Papa never told you

About right and wrong

But you're looking good baby

I believe you're feeling fine (Shame about it)

Born under a bad sign

With a blue moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning

Got a blue moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning

Got a blue moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning

The world turned upside down

Thing's ain't been the same

Since the Blues walked into town

But you're one in a million

You've got that shotgun shine (Shame about it)

Born under a bad sign

With a blue moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning

Got a blue moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning

Got a blue moon in your eyes

When you woke up this morning everything was gone

By half past ten your head was going ding-dong

Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes

Like a voice trying to tell

There's something you should know

Last night you were flying but today you're so low

Ain't it times like these that make you wonder if

You'll ever know the meaning of things

As they appear to the others;

Wives mothers fathers sisters and brothers

Don't you wish you didn't function don't you wish you

Didn't think beyond the next paycheck

And the next little drink

Well you do so make up your mind to go on 'cause

When you woke up this morning

Everything you had was gone

Woke up this morning

Woke up this morning

Woke up this morning

You want to be the Chosen One

Woke up this morning

Woke up this morning

Woke up this morning

You got yourself a gun
