Wake Up in Waco Lyrics by Alex Williams
I woke up and wake up late on a June afternoon
A cheap motel window was letting in a stream of diesel fumes
That hammer in your head, tequila does to you
It’s like being at the wrong end of a gun that outdrew you
I’d rather be sleeping under a stone than to wake up and wake up alone
Cause when you wake up and wake up
You best have some better place to be
Someone to hold on to
Not just some name on your sleeve
Well, a hundred degrees can keep a lonely
From chilling you to the bone
Yeah, that’s how it goes when you wake up and wake all alone
Guess the rain man took off
The rain then won the drive from the sky
Those West Texas tea rings have seized up like the wind has run and drained
Might take off to Tulsa or North California or south of the border
I know now I can warn you
You might better take up your cross and move on
Than to wake up and wake up alone
Cause when you wake up and wake up
You best have some better place to be
Someone to hold on to
Not just some name on your sleeve
Well, a hundred degrees can keep the lonely
From chillin’ you to the bone
Yeah, that’s how it goes when you wake up and wake all alone
Woke up and wake up late on a June afternoon
