A home away from home, livin' in between

I've got mine.

Mornin' glory is on the vine,

And the dew is fallin', the ducks are callin'.
E7
Yes, I've got mine.

Well, all those people, they think they got it made

Anything I have to be like one of them.

I'd rather start all over again.

Well, all those headlines, they just bore me now

I'm deep inside myself, but I'll get out somehow,

And I'll stand before you, and I'll bring a smile
E7
to your eyes.
