up too early

never seen time fly like i did this morning, when i threw that alarm clock 'cross the room, pried one eye open and the man in the mirror, said, "son, what you doin' up so soon?", brewed a couple eggs, put bacon in the blender, coffee over-easy is a bad idea, day just stared and i'm ready to surrender, even through this fog it's clear, it's gonna be a long day, headed the wrong way, at this rate i'll be lucky if i make it to work by ten, and i'll fight through the pain, do my best to explain, i wasn't out too late, just up too early again, down and bought a bean burrito, that might've been the mother of all steaks, with one bite left i looked down and saw my wrist watch, oh my god, nearly missed my break, dad caught me packin' up my tools at 4:30, hollered "son, where the hell you think you're headed to?, you ain't worked a lick and your hands ain't even dirty, you ain't goin' nowhere 'til the job is through", it's a long day, still headed the wrong way, at this rate i'll be lucky if i get off of work by ten, but i fight through the pain, and do my best to explain, i wasn't out too late, just up too early again, it's half-past dark, there won't be a place to park, if i don't make some tracks, gotta get home, get showered, get changed, lord, let there be a clean shirt on the rack, it's a long day, finally headed the right way, at this rate i'll be lucky if i make it to the bar by ten, i have fought through the pain, tomorrow, i'll explain, i wasn't out too late, just up too early again, wasn't out too late, just up too early again
