[Intro – spoken over bass and reggae guitar] Yeah… Sun came up. So did I. That’s already two things going right. Cool Chris. Let’s ride. [Verse 1] Woke up, stretched out, feet hit the floor Yesterday’s problems still outside the door They can knock twice, they can ring that bell I ain’t buying what the bad mood sells Coffee got cold, but the groove stayed hot Plans went sideways, I just changed the plot Cloud in the sky? Man, let that thing float I got sunshine tucked in the pocket of my coat No gold chain, but my grin got shine No limousine, but this day is mine Got a little bit of rhythm and a whole lotta grace And a beat in the speakers putting bass in the place I don’t need perfect, perfect costs too much Give me good people, good music, good lunch If trouble wants a meeting, tell it get in line I’m busy making something good outta mine [Pre-Chorus] I can’t tell the wind which way to blow Can’t make every red light turn green and go But I got one little switch nobody else can touch How I walk through the day? Yeah, that part’s up to us. [Chorus] It’s a good day on purpose Sunshine working overtime Trouble tried to call me up I hit decline Good day on purpose Put a little bounce in every mile Can’t control the whole wide world But I can control this smile Hey! Good day, good day Ain’t waiting for the clouds to roll away Good day, good day I’m making mine on purpose today [Verse 2] Now the bills got jokes, yeah, I’ve heard ’em before Every time I get paid, they’re lined at the door Wallet said, “Easy,” refrigerator said, “Please” So I made a little dinner with some rhythm and cheese Neighbor got a leaf blower screaming at eight Dog wants breakfast, man, everybody can wait Phone got opinions, news got doom So I turned that mess down and turned up the room Boom-bap bounce with the island swing Funny how a little bass changes everything Head starts nodding, shoulders join in Even Monday looking like it might be my friend I ain’t saying every minute comes wrapped in gold Some days get weird and the coffee gets cold But joy ain’t a prize that the weather decides I brought my own sunshine along for the ride [Pre-Chorus] I can’t tell the wind which way to blow Can’t make every red light turn green and go But I got one little switch nobody else can touch How I walk through the day? Yeah, that part’s up to us. [Chorus] It’s a good day on purpose Sunshine working overtime Trouble tried to call me up I hit decline Good day on purpose Put a little bounce in every mile Can’t control the whole wide world But I can control this smile Hey! Good day, good day Ain’t waiting for the clouds to roll away Good day, good day I’m making mine on purpose today [Bridge – reggae breakdown] If the rain comes down Let it water something If the road gets rough Keep the bassline bumping If the plan falls through Make another one You don’t need permission To enjoy the sun And if somebody shows up With a pocket full of gloom Give ’em a chair Give ’em a laugh Give ’em some room We ain’t passing bad vibes Like a plate around the table Peace is on the menu Grab a fork if you’re able [Break – spoken] Hold up… Was that trouble calling again? Nah. Wrong number. [Final Chorus] It’s a good day on purpose Sunshine working overtime Trouble tried to call me up I hit decline Good day on purpose Put a little bounce in every mile Can’t control the whole wide world But I can control this smile Good day, good day Turn the whole thing up and let it play Good day, good day I’m making mine on purpose today Good day, good day Little more love and a little less gray Good day, good day We’re making ours on purpose today [Outro – spoken] Tomorrow can worry about tomorrow. Today? Today already got plans. Cool Chris. Good vibes… heavy bass.
