Drunk in the Morning
Kid Rock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to make money to take away my problems,
But my problems gettin' bigger with the more money I make

I want to find love that's my problem, cause the money
Makes it hard to tell the real from fake

I want to spend time with my son oh every hour
But the money and the problems and the women keep me away
I want to be happy for just one hour, but the only time I'm happy
Anymore is on the stage
I get drunk in the morning I don't look for afternoons
I don't care if tomorrow never comes
I been pushed and kicked around it seems my whole life
Now I'm tired lord I'm so damm tired inside.

(I think its time to get it on)
So lets rock it with the band turn this shit up to 10 now
I got a feeling you been waiting for way to long now
And if your looking for a party you came to the right spot
So drink it 'em down motherfuckers and roll with the Kid Rock
And the band plays

And I thank you people for feeling me I'm feeling you too
Oh what a ride, its been up and down all around the world we've been
We're back your here lets make the most of our time now
And if you get up get up I won't let you down

And when the powder hits the brain, you'll be feelin' it real son
I'm talking guitars, car sex and real cheap wine
All time and type you let me here it if you want more
Lemmie here it if you want more
I gota fifth good music if you hold out I'll pour more

And I thank you people for feelin' me I am feelin' you too
Oh what a ride its been up and down all around the world we've been
We're back your here lets make the most of our time
Now and if you get up get up I won't let you down
Get up Get up Yeah





Yeah what a ride and I thank you people thank you

want to make money to take away my problems
But my problems get bigger with the more money I make
I want to find love, but that's my problem
Because the money makes it hard to tell the real from fake
I wanna spend time with my son, oh, every hour
But the money and the problems and the women keep me away
I want to be happy for just one hour
But the only time I'm happy anymore is on the stage

I get drunk in the morning, I don't look for afternoons
I don't care if tomorrow never comes
I've been pushed and kicked around, it seems, my whole life
And now I'm tired, Lord, I'm so damn tired inside

So let's rock it with the band, turn this shit up to ten now
I got a feeling you've been waiting for way too long now
And if you're looking for a party you came to the right spot
So drink them down motherfuckers and roll with the Kid Rock
And the band plays

[Chorus]
And I thank you people for feeling me, I'm feeling you too
Oh what a ride it's been
Up and down, all around the world
We've been, we're back, you're here
Let's make the most of our time now
And if you get up, I won't let you down

This song reminds me of my x-husband Bobby Jones. He drank in the morning until he would fall asleep at night with a beer in his hand. He died 9 yrs ago of alcohol poisoning and his liver went bad. He was a funny drunk and a hard working man. I miss and love him alot. RIP Bobby Jones Anderson

@kevinmyers5938

Same as my friend Saam. He partied hearty. One hell of an earner, no bum. Always had a wad of bills. We never liked each other, but had a mutual respect for each other at the end. ROCK + ROLL BITCHES ! RIDE THEM SKIES BUD !!😂!! F.T.W! 1 for Saam Ridlon !🤘
