Early mornin' light, early mornin' light
It's my window pane, turns a dusty gray
I should clean my plates, I should wash my face
Early mornin' light won't you go away
'Cause I, I don't want you around

Screamin', "kettle, oh," screamin', "kettle, please"
Don't want coffee and I don't want no tea
My hands are shakin' and my head is achin' bad
Screamin', "kettle, oh, won't you let me be"
'Cause I, I don't want you around

Rollin' thunder, oh, rollin' thunderstorm
You've been followin' me since I was born
I found trouble, oh, fall in love, [you're there]
Rollin' thunderstorm, more than I can bear
So I, I can't have you around

Glass of whiskey, oh, glass of whiskey, true
I want control of myself, but you want that too
I could follow you home, you could swallow me whole
Glass of whiskey, oh, look what you made me do
So I, I can't have you around

Sleepin' lover, oh, sleepin' lover, dear
If you only knew half the things I fear
I get lonesome when you're not home sometimes
Sleepin' lover, you're always on my mind
But I, I get scared that you'll leave

So I, I try to make you believe
But I, I don't want you around
But I'm full of shit
I'm full of shit
I'm full of shit
I'm full of shit
