I got arrested down south for hitting a clerk
And he laid in the box just like a pile of bones
To where the morning don't come
I think I died a hundred thousand times
I was looking for something to do
I spit in his face, the bastard knocked me out
Take me where the morning don't come
To where the morning don't come
To where the morning don't come
I took a train and came up from Carolina
To where the morning don't come
Cry me a river till the morning comes
It seemed like there was always a cop
And whatever it is about you, I've always hated
And with nothing to gain there's always nothing to lose
Teetering stoned off the side of buildings
Is something about myself I just couldn't hide
I had a dog named Jet, when I was a kid
So cry me a river to the other side of the morn
Bar room boogie just like in the movies
Singing and dancing to them night time songs
Mixing liquor with them mystery pills
Go on put it to me, shake it till the rattles come on
Bar room boogie just like in the movies
Coming up behind me and following close as he could
I used to get loaded and baby I'd drive your car
Nobody loved me and nobody even tried
Until one day he wandered off and died
He leered at my lady and then he touched her face
To where the morning don't come
To where the morning don't come
And I'm going, going, baby, I'm almost gone
Cry me a river till the morning comes
Loaded and cruising to them night time songs
Face down, lyin' on the riverside
Like a sun that just wouldn't set out on the horizon
Go on put it to me, shake it till the rattles come on
I should've died a hundred thousand times
Loaded on Ephedrine, looking for downers and coke
Mystery pills and heroin mixed into cocaine
Thank God, she had the money to bail me out
Singing and dancing to them night time songs
Take me where the morning don't come
Nothing I found could ever quite occupy me
One night I went in the yard and dug him up
You can't hang on to something that won't stop moving
Eventually he'd just trail off
To where the morning don't come
Singing and dancing to them night time songs
Singing and dancing to them night time songs
Singing and dancing to them night time songs
To most of them I already died
Cry me a river till the morning comes
Most of my friends are married and making them babies
