Lyrics Lyle Lovett

Lyle Lovett

In My Own Mind

I get up in the mornin'

I drink a cup of coffee

I look out of the window

I try to get a-started

I turn it all over

Plough it all under

I plant 'em in the spring time

I pick 'em in the summer

I live in my own mind

Ain't nothin' but a good time

No rain, just the sunshine

Out here in my own mind

I live where I can breathe

Ain't nothin' but a cool breeze

Nobody that it won't please

Out here where you can breathe

Mandy and Dary

They'll show back up any day

That's one thing you can count on

But sometimes they'll be long gone

I'd rather be huntin'

Hooked on fishin'

I read it on the t-shirts

But if you don't believe it

Hardwood floor-a-creakin'

Bedroom door squeekin'

She's standing in the kitchen

I thought she was still sleepin'

Kiss her on the forehead

Ask her how she slept

She says, "Honey it's so early.

We probably shouldn't speak yet."
