Drive-By Truckers - We Will Never Wake You Up in the Morning lyrics

Well the times get tough and
You thought you had enough
When the stall of your free fall
Decides to call your bluff
And all of your resolve might
Dissolve into your cups
We will never wake you up
We will never wake you up

This season of our discontent has
Given way to torment
All the strait's that you were born
In disappeared without a warning
Simple evolution isn't working as a solution
We will never wake you up in the morning

Metaphorically inclined towards crossing
Over state lines you drifted down upon the
Destinations you were inclined
Until you lost all sight of
Your place in the design


Your alarm clock is ringing at your bedside
You drift into narcotic splendor
Of your never-ending bender
Eyes glazed but somehow smiling like
A haze across the skyline
You down another glass then drift
Off from our grasp
We will never wake you up in the morning
We will never wake you up in the morning

The heaven that await's you is
A bar that never closes
And a line across the toilet
Tank for everybody's noses
With a tab that's as open as
The arms of your hostess
As she gives a brief salvation upon you

Buenas noches, sweet prince behind the eight
Ball and your rent
Eviction notice on your door and
All your money spent
Hearts broken by your actions but
You had the best intentions
There were bottles in your bedroom
And nothing in the kitchen

And the last time we ever saw you
You were clinging to the barroom
Days on end we tried to call you
Bells were ringing, tears were falling
The door was opened by the cops but
You were up above the treetops
We will never wake you up in the morning
We will never wake you up in the morning
We will never wake you up in the morning
