I've got those optimism blues
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven't seen such a grin since Lord knows when
I've got those optimism blues
I've got those optimism blues
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven't seen such a grin since Lord knows when (when)
I've got those optimism blues
Time has changed so many things by running outta of this end
Too much of that and time has claimed so many things
By getting rid of some end, fixin' another's
But I'm prepared to accept whatever faith will, turned up
Because I believe that there's a very good reason for everything are happenin'
I've got those optimism blues (blues)
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven't seen such a grin since Lord knows when (since Lord knows when)
I've got those optimism blues
Time has changed so many things
The West's dampenin' as the East pauses in
Time has changed so many things
They took all the signs off the Southern burbs
But flowers still grow like before a few souls lost
Still you can't pull a good man down by the river
People getting saved by the dozen
I've got those optimism blues (blues)
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven't seen such a grin since Lord knows when (since Lord knows when)
I've got those optimism blues
I've got those optimism blues (blues)
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven't seen such a grin since Lord knows when
I've got those optimism blues
I've got those optimism blues (blues)
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven't seen such a grin since Lord knows when (since Lord knows when)
I've got those optimism blues
