Ferocious Morning lyrics

F. Tackett, P. Barrere

I was a real live wire on a very loose wig
not a good combination in the best of times
I had no real plans, no trouble in mind
just a real fat wallet my modus operandi

then I woke up - seatin` and lost
ya know I sear that it`s true
the sun was shining in my eyes
reflectin` off a gold tooth
I said oh man... it was a ferocious morning

well I remember the money quintessential moans
yesterday`s perfume tells me I ain`t alone
then I hear that fool`s bellow pounding at the door
I had my heart in my mouth when my feet hit the floor

taste of cotton - and gasoline
all down in my thirty two
no time for stoppin` - I gotta beat the scen
I think this window will do
I said oh man... what a ferocious morning

the heat was oppressive, ninety nine in the shade
I hit the bricks runnin`, hip-hoppin` away
I needed some magic so I turned into a bar
was the misery minute down at the happy hour

my head screamed for a cough syrup cocktail
but I settled on a deep well gin
don`t recall it all... I think it was fun
but I don`t wanna go there again
oh man... what a ferocious morning
