Woke Up This Morning Lyrics

'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.

You woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
(So sad goddamn, goddamn shame about it)
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
(So sad goddamn, goddamn shame about it)
You woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes

Just can help yourself

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
'Cause when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.

Woke up this morning,
You see, you be the chosen one
Woke up this morning,
Woke up this morning,
You wanna be the Chosen One?.
Yeah, you know it
Just can help yourself, yeah

Woke up this morning,
Woke up this morning,
Woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun?.
You got yourself a gun?.
You got yourself a gun?.
