Lyrics
Well, I used to be a morning girl I'd wake up with the sun
now I get up very late cause I'm having too much fun
too much fun too late at night keeps me in my bed
I'm lucky if I'll ever see a rooster's comb of red
It used to be I'd rise at dawn and I'd have so much done
before the sound of anyone's feet had hit the ground
that was before my life had changed ? I discovered rock ?n roll
this double life can be exciting but it darn sure takes its toll
guitar break
it's really quite exciting the lights, the noise, the thrill
standing before crowds of folks and letting my heart spill
I don't think I'll ever quit though I know how hard it'll be
to catch a glimpse of early morn but that?s alright with me
Bridge: every lifestyle has its price and this one seemed a bargain
the price I pay's the time of day I won't wake up in the morning
Well, I used to be a morning girl I'd wake up with the sun
now I get up very late cause I'm having too much fun
too much fun too late at night keeps me in my bed
I'm lucky if I'll ever see a rooster's comb of red
Hell, I'm lucky if I'll ever see a rooster's comb of red
