Sunrise Don't Find Me

She thinks I'll quit at dawn. I won't.

Verse 1 World turns over, the rooster makes his case Decent men get up and put on a decent face But I been doing my best in the second half The first half never knew when to laugh You can have your bird and your good clean light I'll take the porch and a working night Don't you write me sad, don't you write me lost I'm the kind of broke that pays the cost

Pre-Chorus You can keep Your morning's gold The dark made me What the day stole

Chorus Let the sunrise find someone else I ain't done with the dark The night still knows my given name And the night still answers back

Verse 2 Doctor, preacher, mama, wife Each told me a regular life I listened, I tried, I gave it a year And then I came back here A man owes his shape to what he came through The dark made my elbows and the dark made my view I won't waste a perfectly good night On the kind of peace that's too polite

Pre-Chorus You can keep Your morning's gold The dark made me What the day stole

Chorus Let the sunrise find someone else I ain't done with the dark The night still knows my given name And the night still answers back

Bridge When the morning finally takes me, fine I'll go with my last whiskey in my hand But till then, brothers, hold the line Hold the line, hold the line, hold the line Let the sunrise find someone else I ain't done with the dark The night still knows my given name And the night still answers back

Outro I ain't done with the dark I ain't done with the dark
