8 A.M. Lyrics
The Marcus King Band
Lyrics
Hope they play me
On your radio every hour
I don't need money, don't need power
Just like to know that you're hearin' me
And I know now
You did what you came to do
Broke my heart back in two
Left me wantin' more
If you could see me now
You'd be glad you left me
Take a look at me now
Wasted at 8 a.m.
And I'm ridin'
A white horse back to freedom
That you gave me the reins to
And your trail's gone cold, baby
If you could see me now
You'd be glad you left me
Just take a look at me now
Wasted at 8 a.m.
If you could see me now
You'd be glad you left me
Take a look at me now
Wasted at 8 a.m.
If you knew my mind, baby
You could see that I'm lonely
Sittin' in my den drinkin'
Wasted at 8 a.m.
Wasted at 8 a.m.
