early in the morning
sitting in an alley
the buildings are too tall for me to see
the water or the skyline
music in a spotlight
the only things that aren't hiding from me
and i don't know which way to go
my heart can lead my feet will follow
up or down or left or right
or here or there or back to mine
it's only nine o'clock somewhere but i'm drifting off
it's only three degrees in here
come lie beside me
looking for a way back
feeling kinda dizzy
the city lights are just too bright for me
there's wire in the chain link
and faces in the windows
i start to climb and they start laughing
my heart is beating steadily but i've lost my footing
i stumble down i'm overwhelmed
the lights and sounds they're all around
it's over now
is it over now
the music's loud and i cry out
it's only nine o'clock somewhere and i'm drifting off
it's only three degrees and gear
come lie beside me
it's only nine o'clock somewhere and i am drifting off
it's only three degrees and so
come lie beside me
come lie beside me
just stay beside me
