I woke up this morning on the right side of the bed.

Happy just to be alive, I cracked a smile through tired eyes and I got dressed.

I poured myself a coffee, smiling as I do.

Drinking and thinking of all of the places that I'll be going soon.

I'll be on my way with one hand in my pocket

With a bag on my back and my heart in a locket.

And I'm next to broke but I don't care,

Because it's who I choose to be that gets me there.

I woke up this morning with some music in my head.

Songs that sing of being alive and find the way

To spend my time without spending a dime.

So I gather the rest of my change,

I put it in a jar to save up for all of the things

That I know I can't buy with just my heart.

I'll be on my way with one hand in my pocket

With a bag on my back and my heart in a locket.

And I'm next to broke but I don't care,

Because it's who I choose to be that gets me there.

I go to bed this evening with a smile on my face.

The stars are shining oh so bright,

They let me know that it's alright to stay up late.

So I write a couple love songs that make me think of you.

I know you'll miss me dearly and I'll miss you too but I'll be back so soon.

[X2]

I'll be coming home with one hand in my pocket

With a bag on my back and my heart in a locket.

And I'm next to broke but I don't care,

Because it's who I choose to be that gets me there.
