Woke up this morning, you weren't in my bed.
Woke up this morning with a clearer head.
I sent you packing, go on out the door --
ain't going to sleep with you any more.
Any more, I'm going to wake up alone.
Any more, I need to be a you-free zone.
Woke up this morning, and you were gone --
I don't feel right, but it don't feel wrong.

No cloudy head, now I'm thinking clear.
No more trouble to drown in my beer.
We danced a long dance but the song is done --
so sorry to put an end to the fun ...
the fun of fighting every night,
the fun of being wrong even when I'm right.
Woke up this morning, and you were gone
and I do believe that that's exactly where you belong.
