MORNIN' SUNSHINE

    
WELL IT SEEMED LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY,
I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO THINK.
MAMA AND PAPA AND A BABY BOY,
AND A REAL NICE FAMILY SHRINK.
MONDAY MORNIN' TRAFFIC,
AND THE DOCTOR BILLS.
THEY WERE JUST ABOUT TO TAKE ME AWAY.
BUT NOW I'M OUT OF THE GRIND,
AND I'M RELAXIN' MY MIND,
AND I'M WISHIN' THAT I REALLY COULD STAY.

MORNIN' SUNSHINE, SHINE ON ME.
IT MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD.
SITTIN' UNDERNEATH OF A BIG OLD TREE,
IN A BACK HILLS PINEY WOOD.
LOOKIN' AT THE WORLD JUST ROLL ON BY,
WHILE MY TIME SEEMS TO STAND STILL.
MORNIN' SUNSHINE BRING ME LIFE,
WHILE I'M BACK HERE IN YOUR HILLS.

BAREFOOT, BEARDED, BACKPACKIN' BUM,
DRINKIN' WATER FROM A COLD MOUNTAIN STREAM.
NOWHERE TO GO, SO I'M TAKIN' IT SLOW,
I DON'T WANT TO WAKE UP FROM THIS DREAM.
BUT I KNOW IT'S GONNA' HAPPEN,
AND IT WON'T BE LONG.
BEFORE THAT OLD ALARM STARTS TO RING.
BUT I'LL BE STARTIN' MY DAY,
IN A BRAND NEW WAY,
EVERYBODY'S GONNA' HEAR ME SING.
