Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah you gonna miss me
Early in the morning
one of these days oh yeah
Well, you gonna want me
Early in the morning
when I'm away

Don't ya know
Yes you'll be sorry for the times I cried
You'll be sorry for the time you lied

Well, you gonna miss me
Early in the morning
one of these days oh yeah
Well, ya know a rollin' stone
don't gather no moss
And ya cross your bridge
when it's time to cross

Well, ya broke my heart
when ya said good bye

Now the milk is spilt
but you gonna cry

Yeah early in the morning
You gonna know that I was right
Oh yeah, yeah,
Early in the morning
when there's nobody to hold you tight

Oh, Oh,
Well, you gonna want me, want me back
You gonna *(miss) the best man you ever had
Yeah, you gonna miss me




You gonna want me one of this days
Oh don't ya know
