(by Richard Manuel.)
I had a hard time waking this morning
I got a lotta things on my mind
Like those friends of yours
They keep bringing me down
Just hangin` round all the time
I`ve had a hard time waking most mornings
And it`s been that way for a month or more
You`ve had things your way
But now I`ve got to say
I`m on my way out the door
Chorus:
Why don`t you get right, try to get right, baby
You haven`t been right with me, why don`t you get right?
Try and get right, baby, don`t you remember how it used to be?
You had a hard time waking this morning
And I can see it in your empty eyes
But there`s no need for talking
Or walking round the block
Just to figure out the reason why
I have a hard time handing out warnings
I`ll just slide on out the door
Cuz I`m tired of everything
Being beautiful, beautiful
And I ain`t coming back no more
