Woke Up This Morning Lyrics

Woke Up This Morning lyrics

I'm gonna take you down
Deep down to the front lines

You woke up this
morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you’d be
The Chosen
One.

She said: You’re one in a million
You’ve got to burn to
shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your
eyes.

You woke up this morning
All that love had gone,
Your Papa
never told you
About right and wrong.

But you’re looking good,
baby,
I believe you’re feeling fine,(shame about it),
Born under a bad
sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.
Chorus
You woke up this
morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
Got a
blue moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning
The world turned
upside down,
Thing’s ain’t been the same
Since the Blues walked into
town.
But you’re one in a million
You’ve got that shotgun shine.
(shame about it)
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your
eyes.
You woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
You woke
up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes

When you woke up this
morning everything you had was gone. By half past ten your head was going
ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
like a
voice telling you there was something you should
know. Last night you were
flying but today you’re so low
- ain’t it times like these that make you
wonder if
you’ll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the
others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers. Don’t you wish you
didn’t function, don't you wish you
didn’t think beyond the next
paycheck and the next little
drink? Well you do so make up your mind to go
on, ‘cos
when you woke up this morning everything you had was
gone.

woke up this morning,
woke up this morning,
woke up this
morning,
You wanna be the Chosen One.

woke up this morning,
woke
up this morning,
woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.
