Morning After

It's getting light outside
And the party is long over
I'm outta gas
Can't go fast no more

I drank all of the backwashed beers
Left on the table
And the last lone guest
Just crawled out the door

Why does there have to be a morning after?
Why do I have to stop to start again?
Why does there have to be a morning after?
So I can lie awake and think about my sins

Why do you look so good when I've been drinking?
Why am I here with you and not with her?
I got a sweet little gal at home who says she loves me
I guess it's drinking, swearing trash that I prefer

Why does there have to be a morning after?
Why do I have to stop to start again?
Why does there have to be a morning after?
So I can lie awake and think about my sins

I woke up today with four stone walls around me
My windows barred, the door is made of steel
The sheriff, he comes in and this he tells me
"Three people dead and you were at the wheel"

Why does there have to be a morning after?
Why do I have to stop to start again?
Why does there have to be a morning after?
So I can lie awake and think about my sins
So I can lie awake and think about my sins
