Lyrics

OWN YOUR SUNSHINE – 3:30

Tommy Parham/TIA MCGRAFF

Seems like trouble’s been following you

Stuck under a cloud and the rain soaked through

You weathered the storm man that ain’t no lie

Then woke up this morning beneath a blue sky

Chorus

Take it, it’s yours, get carried away

Live like you own your sunshine today

Nothin’ this world can do or say

No one can own your sunshine anyway

A hard road’ll wear out your soul and your shoes

Get tired of paying more than your dues

Misunderstood but what do they know

You may be a freak but hey it’s your show.    CHORUS:
