Start the Day Early Lyrics

I'm gonna start the day early
Maybe like a rocket on fire
Then I'm gonna write me a thousand songs
And I am never, ever, ever gonna tire

You bring the cup and I'll bring the moonshine
I wanna fill you up, babe won't you be mine?

I'm gonna knock em' all down
Maybe till I can't see straight
Then I'm gonna wake up at dawn
And I'm gonna feel great

I'm gonna start the day early
Maybe like a baby at birth
I'm gonna give you a present
With brown eyes and beautiful words

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

As they put it during their show in Chicago in October at the Park West... "This song is about getting drunk."

I also can't help but imagine the cup being a bit of a sexual reference for women and the moonshine being well... you know. But overall its about drinking early in the day, a little liquid confidence, and a few references to the things that might happen while drinking.

I love, love, love this song.

Definitely a song about getting drunk, and probably sex.
