with all respect to mr kris kristofferson

friday morning coming down
3 days someber
still got the shakes
at 5 in the morning
i'm still awakes

outside is a storm
high winds & rain
i feel the pain

layin awake
can't sleep
still got the shakes
still awake

cold sweats
hot flashes
rehashes
you bets

tryin' to get sober
tryin' ta' leave behind
tryin' to get over
what i left behind

it's 5 am
and i am
awake
still sober
after 3 days sake
still got the shake

the tremors
and remembers

and ousides
a storm
rain & thunder & wind
and within

can't sleep
readin'n weep
just been a few days
been thru this before
i know it'll pass a way

but it's hard
my pard
to give up an old friend
booze & me
you see
thought we be till the end

any way

friday morning coming down
comin' down always comes around
that 1 i've found
whether i like it or not
that's a sound
no one like's it a lot

friday or sunday
comin' down

might even be monday
or tuesday
or wednesday

but someday

you do
it's true

come down
