Early mornin', six years old
I don't know where I'm goin' but I'm ready to go
Mama's on the telephone while daddy cries
Silence playin' on the radio
I sat up in my seat, look out the window
Watch the sunrise just to pass the time
I ask, "What's wrong with you, daddy?"
He wipes his eyes
Says, "I got no place left to leave, nothing to believe
I got no place left to go
I'm kind of short on money
And buddy, it's a long, long road
Hey, hey, hey, morning sun won't you tell everyone
I'm sorry that I couldn't show
I got no place left to leave
No place left to go"
♪
Guitar ringing in my ear
I played a show last night and I had too many beers
And I was doing alright until she called
She said, "I'm tired, there's too much pain
Ever since you left, ain't nothing been the same
And I can't stand for this anymore"
I said, "I'm sorry for you, baby, and are you sure?"
'Cause I got no place left to leave, nothing to believe
I got no place left to go
I'm kind of short on money
And honey, it's a long, long road
Hey, hey, hey, morning sun won't you tell everyone
I'm sorry that I couldn't show
That I got no place left to leave
No place left to go
Oh, I never thought that doing things my way
Would ever really hurt anyone
But all I've been shown is the highway
Looks like I'm on the run
And I got no place left to leave, nothing to believe
I got no place left to go
I'm kind of short on money
And buddy, it's a long, long road
Hey, hey, hey, morning sun won't you tell everyone
I'm sorry that I couldn't show
That I got no place left to leave
No place left to go
I got no place left to leave
No place left to go
