It can't 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 neat My coffee black and my bed at three
You're too sweet for me You're too sweet for me I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me You're too sweet for me
I aim low I aim true and the ground's where I go I work late where I'm free from the phone
And the job gets done But you worry some, 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 along, babe, don't get me wrong
You know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain Pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape
If you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait Until that day
