Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Early in the mornin', about the break of day
The Earlybird is workin' so his life don't fade away
Spend his life denyin' that he's got no time for flyin' in the breeze
High up on his own, the eagle flies alone, he is free
[Verse 2]
Earlybird is scratchin' though the goin's gettin' tough
The time is passin' by him and he just can't get enough
He'll tell you all is well but know that somethin's wrong
The Earlybird will wake one day and find his life is gone
[Verse 3]
Know I like to lay in bed and sleep out in the sun
Readin' books and playin' crazy music just for fun
You know it makes me feel so fine and sets my mind at ease
Know that I don't harm a soul in doin' what I please
[Verse 4]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 5]
Any old day you say, ain't gonna fade away
Any old day you say, ain't gonna fade away
Any old day you say, ain't gonna fade away
Any old day you say, ain't gonna fade away...
