[Verse 1] Badge still clipped to the visor Boots unlaced on the passenger seat Everybody's heading in, I'm heading out With the whole night folded up beneath my feet [Pre-Chorus] Seven years of doubles, holidays on the clock I laid every hour down like a brick in a wall [Chorus] I earned this morning Every shingle, every door That's my name on the mailbox now I earned this morning, I don't rent the sunrise anymore [Verse 2] Used to sleep through noon with foil on the glass Ate my suppers from a vending machine Kept a number taped inside the cupboard door And I crossed it out a little every week [Pre-Chorus] Nobody handed me a thing, nobody saw I laid every hour down like a brick in a wall [Chorus] I earned this morning Every shingle, every door That's my name on the mailbox now I earned this morning, I don't rent the sunrise anymore [Bridge] Gravel pops beneath the tires Key's still warm inside my hand No one clapping, no one watching Just a lock that knows who I am [Chorus] I earned this morning Every shingle, every door That's my name on the mailbox now I earned this morning, I don't rent the sunrise anymore [Outro] I earned this morning And I'll earn the next one too
