(Verse 1)
Morning came knockin’, I told it go away
Didn’t have the strength for another damn day
Coughed half the night and my throat was sore
Alarm started raising hell at four
Feet hit the floor, I knew right then
That damn dog done did it again
Right between my toes, warm and brown
I Should've washed my feet and layed back down
(Verse 2)
Found yesterday’s jeans there on the chair
Sniffed ’em twice, said, “Good enough to wear”
Turned on the shower, but the water stayed cold
Cussed that water heater, damn thing’s getting old
Tried to pour some coffee, the pot was dry
Just stood there staring, wondering why
(Chorus)
I should’ve stayed in bed, covered up my head
Called the boss, told him I was damn near dead
If this is how my morning’s gonna go
I don’t even wanna know what’s down the road
The sun ain’t even up, and I’ve had enough
How’d my whole damn morning get this fucked up?
Yeah, I should’ve listened to my tired old head
And kept my silly old ass in bed
(Verse 3)
Grabbed my keys and headed for the door
Tripped on that damn dog and hit the floor
Climbed in the truck, turned the key
Click, click, click was all she gave me
Neighbor walked by, said, “Need a jump?”
I said, “Hell no, I’m just sittin’ here for fun”
Finally got her fired, threw her in drive
Spilled coffee in my lap—should’ve stayed inside
(Bridge)
My phone started ringin’ as I pulled away
Saw my boss’s name and thought, “He’s pissed again today”
He said, “What the hell are you coming in for?”
“You’re off today—I told you that before”
(Final Chorus)
I should’ve stayed in bed, covered up my head
Should’ve rolled right over and gone back to bed
Now I know how this morning should’ve gone
I could’ve slept my happy ass till dawn
The sun’s finally up, and I’ve had enough
My whole damn morning’s been all fucked up
Yeah, I should’ve listened to my tired old head
And kept my silly old ass in bed
