Tony Joe White - Not One Bad Thought lyrics

It was pretty this morning Put some flowers in the ground Sun was shining this morning Planted flowers all around Got my business out of the way And all I want to do is not one bad thought One bad thought Oh, yeah I got a mockingbird It sings the song out on the breathe Sometime they sit up on my chimney Then they take it up to the trees Lord, he must have been hearing my old guitar I believe he does it better than me Don't have not one bad thought Not one bad thought, no My mama was a Cherokee Spread her little laugh on a river fall She had seven kids and let us know There was plenty of room in her arms She would start the day with a smile on her face And not one bad thought, not one bad thought Not one bad thought, not one bad thought Not one bad thought Not one bad thought Just wondering Not one bad thought Not one bad thought
