LYRICS:
I used to stress about the boss I hate
I used to worry when my bills were late
Now every time that I get blue
I just adjust my attitude
I try to shake it off
And start thinkin' some happy thoughts
Thinkin' 'bout Mom's fried chicken
Thinkin' 'bout baseball pitching
Summer time cane pole fishin' in the pond
And every day I live
I'm gonna' accentuate the positive
I keep my fingers crossed
And start thinkin' those happy thoughts
I don't drink no alcohol don't pop no pills
Got no psychiatrist to cure my ills
I used to love to fuss and fight
Squeal my tires and get uptight
Now I count to ten
'Til my happy thoughts kick in
Start thinkin' 'bout sunny beaches
Thinkin' 'bout tasty peaches
Sittin' out underneath the clear blue sky
I'm seein' my glass half full
Believin' that anything is possible
And when it looks like all is lost
I think those happy thoughts
I'm better off with happy thoughts than dwellin' on the blues
So what if I'm dreamin'
What have I got to lose?
Thinkin' 'bout Mom's fried chicken
Thinkin' 'bout horseshoe pitchin'
Summertime Guitar pickin' on the porch
And every day I live
I'm gonna' accentuate the positive
I keep my fingers crossed
And start thinkin' those happy thoughts
And when it looks like all is lost
I think those happy thoughts
