It can be said I'm an early bird
It's ten o'clock before I say a word
Baby, I can never tell
How do you sleep so well?
You keep telling me to live right
To go to bed before the daylight
But then you wake up for the sunrise
You know you don't gotta pretend Baby now and then
Don't you just wanna wake up Dark as a lake
Smelling like a bonfire Lost in a haze
If you're drunk on life,
babe I think it's great
But while in this world I think I'll take my whiskey and lead
My coffee black and my bed at three You're too straight for me
You're too straight for me
I take my whiskey and lead
My coffee black and my bed at three You're too straight for me
You're too sweet for me
I am low,
I am true In the crowds where I go I work late where I'm free from the fall
And the job gets done But you're worrisome,
I know But who wants to live forever,
babe?
You treat your mouth as if it's heaven's gate The rest of you like you're the TSA
I wish I could go alone,
babe don't get me wrong
You know you're bright as the morning,
soft as the rain
Pretty as a vine,
sweet as a grape
If you can sit in a barrel,
maybe I'll wait
Until that day,
I'd rather take my whiskey and eat
I take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bread at three
You're too straight for me You're too straight for me
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bread at three
You're too sweet for me
You're too sweet for me
