Good Morning Heartache
Gretchen Wilson & Kid Rock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seems you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Good morning heartache what's new

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
You're the one
Who knew me when
Might as well get use to you hanging around
Good morning heartache
Sit down

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
You're the one
Who knew me when
Might as well get use to you hanging around




Good morning heartache
Sit down
