Early Riser Lyrics - Jerry Leger

Early Riser 

It's a big old city 

With a city life 

Banged my head against the wall 

So many times 

Five dollars for the hopeful 

Ten for my thief 

Twenty two for little Peggy Sue 

Well, she got her hold on me 

I don't wanna die 

Like some other guy 

When he's been an early riser for you 

Don't wanna hear about her 

Or the game we were 

It takes time to think it over 

Makes you wanna kill 

The bad light comes around 

Laughing in front of the bathroom mirror 

Gets me so low down 

Feel like a problem 

Feel like a smoker's cough 

Thumbing my way from town to town 

Try to shake it off 

I don't wanna die 

Like some other guy 

When he's been an early riser for you 

Don't wanna hear about her 

Or the game we were 

It takes time to think it over 

Vandalize my opinions 

It just ain't right 

Oh, you're such a pretty one 

Staying out all night 

Give me a little sunshine 

Let me see how it fits 

Never knew I needed some so bad 

Til I been without it 

I don't wanna die 

Like some other guy
