Hey sunriser
Today's coming at you a half a billion miles an hour
Whether you're waking up or just pulled an all-nighter
I tip my hat to you
Truck drivers, firefighters, cut-the-neon-closing-timers
Double shifting, double shooting
trying to come down from the first time
Getting-highers, yeah
too much sleep just ain't how we were wired

It don't matter which end of the candle that you burn
If you want to see it it's something you've got to earn
Whatever it is you're chasing
that's setting your heart on fire
However the morning finds you, I hope it finds you well

Sunriser, no-sleep-survivors, first-time-heartbroke-cryers
Changing diapers, ride-or-die-ers squeezing pliers
We can all act like we ain't tired
But the truth is we're all liars

It don't matter which end of the candle that you burn
If you're up to see it, well
then it's one that you've earned
Whatever it is you're chasing setting your heart on fire
However the morning finds you I hope it finds you well

Sunriser
Sunriser

Sunriser
A little older, little wiser
Last-minute-red-eye-flyer
Get off the plane, in the truck, pull down the visor
Can't wait to get home to surprise her
And kiss my little ear-to-ear-smiler

Sunriser
My little sunriser

Weekend drunk-dialers, college kids, and old timers
Ain't-been-out-in-a-while-ers, wake-up-in-jail-first-timers
Spirits that run a little bit wilder
Two-job single-mom fighters, first-time-love-finders
Deer stand, duck-blind-hiders
farmers, morning-DJ-radio-dialers
Backwoods moonshiners
Too-much-on-their-mind-ers
having-the-time-of-their-life-ers
Sunrisers
