Lyle Lovett
In my own mind
Capo on 4th fret
I Gget up in the morn'in, CI drink a cup a coffee
I Glook out a' the window, Dn' try to get it started
I Gturn it all over, Cplow it all under
PGlant em in the spingtime, Dn' pick em in the summer
Chorus
I Glive in my Cown mind, Gain't nothin but a Dgood time
NGo rain just Ca sunshine, Gout here in my Down mind
I Glive where CI can breathe, Gain't nothin but a Dcool breeze
NGobody that iCt won't please, Gout here where ya cDan breathe
RGandy and Danny Ray, Cthe'll show back up any day
TGhat's one thing you can count on, Dbut sometimes the'll be long gone
IG'd rather be hunt'n, Chooked on fish'n
RGead on their t-shirts, Dif you don't believe it
Chorus............
HGardwood floor creak'n, Cbedroom door squeak'n
SGhe's standing in the kiDtchen, I thought she was still sleep'n
KGiss her on the forehead, Cask her how she slept 
SGhe say's honey it early, Dwe proably shouldn't speak yet
Chorus............
