When the Morning Comes - Hoyt Axton

And when the morning comes and you gotta get up

How you going to find your shoes

In an empty bed with an achin' head

You know it’s got to give you the blues

I don’t know what’s going on here

I know things are not all right

If you want me to I’ll go dear

If you want, I’ll stay all night

I came here with my broken heart

Wrapped away with care

And all you do is sit and drink

And stare at your TV

And when the morning comes and you gotta get up

How you going to find your shoes

In an empty bed with an achin' head

You know it’s got to give you the blues

You ask me, why I came here

But you’re the one who phoned

I wasn’t very happy

But I did alright alone

I thought you learned to love me

I guess you never will

The key’s lost to the kingdom

And I don’t have time to kill

And when the morning comes and you gotta get up

How you going to find your shoes

In an empty bed with an achin' head

You know it’s got to give you the blues

And when the morning comes and you gotta get up

How you going to find your shoes

In an empty bed with an achin' head

You know it’s got to give you the blues

So it’s goodbye, Carolina

So long, Tennessee

California’s callin'

And Chicago’s good to me

My feet are in the stirrups

My pony wants run

Think I’ll hit the highway

I guess you’re not the one

And when the morning comes and you gotta get up

How you going to find your shoes

In an empty bed with an achin' head

You know it’s got to give you the blues

And when the morning comes and you gotta get up

How you going to find your shoes

In an empty bed with an achin' head

You know it’s got to give you the blues
