Not One Bad Thought

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
