It's hard to get up in the morning No matter who you're working for But you'll find a way when the landlord's knocking on your door But you won't be down until your moma's gone So your morale is a let down Don't put the blame upon yourself You still hurry home 'til you know she's found nobody else So you won't be down until your moma's gone Allow me to show you the warning I don't wanna see you lose Don't carry on 'til the wild grass is growing round your shoes For it won't be long until your moma's gone Until your moma's gone It's hard to get up in the morning No matter who you're working for But you'll find a way when the landlord's knocking on your door Oh you won't be down until your moma's gone
