Jerry Leger - Early Riser Lyrics

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
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
