WAKIN' UP

I’m waking up on the 4th of July
I had enough wiping all the sleep from these eyes

I had fear in my right hand courage on the left
Drinking gold tequila smoking players cigarettes
Lying like a beached whale waiting for my wish to come true

Well now I wouldn’t move a muscle except to find the remote control
Flipping through the channels searching for a little more
Mental stimulation 24 hours a day

When the hammer came down with the weight of the world I did know
All the chances that come like a day in the sun soon will go
I’m telling you

Chorus
I’m waking up on the 4th of July
I had enough wiping all the sleep from these eyes
Cause I’m louder that the 4th of July

Staring at these four walls feeling sorry for myself
Drinking too much living in a world of doubt
Lost a bird in the hand and stuck with two in the bush

I’m waking up on the 4th of July
I had enough wiping all the sleep from these eyes
I’m waking up take it home now
Ain’t gonna sleep no more
