[Verse 1]
Hope nobody's home later
So I can talk to God out loud
Don't wanna bother the neighbors singin' out

Somehow I've ended up here
Where I can't own my feelings
I can't own my feelings for you, can't own my fears

[Chorus]
I don't wanna have a bad mind
I don't wanna have a bad mind
I don't wanna have a bad mind

[Verse 2]
Maybe it was just the South
Or the influence of my brothers
Or the harsh words I heard the others throw around

Maybe 'cause they took her away
Little girl from a good mother
Just because she had a woman for a lover in '98

[Chorus]
I don't wanna have a bad mind
I don't wanna have a bad mind
I don't wanna have a bad mind
[Verse 3]
Remember when you tried to hold my hand
And I acted like I thought you were playing
But I knew just what you were saying doing that

You looked so pretty at the prom
Blue dress, long hair swaying
I never had the courage to tell you until now

[Chorus]
I don't wanna have a bad mind
I don't wanna have a bad mind
I don't wanna have a bad mind
