Kurt Vile
"Early Dawnin'"

You can't tell me how to live my life
But you can watch me do it if you want
I think you think you might run the tight ship
And congrats on that but
In the morning, I am recording
That's the way it should be when
That's the way it is
I'm a man and I'm a mess
See I go up and down, around
Cause there's a whirlwind in my head
Just like a hurricane
Cause there's a honey and there's a comb
There's a sugar and a cane
It's my home and it's my house
Anyhow, and it's time to go there

Early dawnin', early dawnin'
Early dawnin', early dawnin'

All my days, closer to dying
But I am, is what it is
There's been times, guilty of crimes
But I won't apologize, I ain't got time
All my nights, further from livin'
But I don't mind, take my time
We got heart, we got soul
I don't know what I've been told
Streets of heaven are overflowin'
I don't know what I've been told
Streets of heaven, the gorgeous thrones

Early dawnin' early dawnin'
Early dawnin' early dawnin'
