Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home

Woo, soon daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home

'Cause these Blue Monday blues is 'bout to kill me, sure as you're born



Well, this man pitches a party, every first of the week

I can't cross the floor for other people's feet

Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home



Well, I went to my kitchen, intendin' to eat a bite

The table was crowded from morning till night

Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home



(spoken:

All right, Little Son Joe

Yes, I know, keep on playing

I'll come home)



Hey, now I turned around, aimed to go to bed

There's four at the foot and six at the head

Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home
