Text and Music by James Sundquist and Wendell Burton

Wendell was one of my best friends in LA.  We both were artists signed to Lamb & Lion Records, attended the Vineyard at that time and were both in the Hollywood Free Theater whose ministry involved going into prisons to minister to the inmates.  Wendell had written a song with Keith Green, who also went out to minister to prisoners with us.  So we decided we should write one together.  Wendell recorded a slower produced version of this song on one of his albums.  I recorded a faster version in my In Concert release.



SUNNY DAYS DOGS ARE BARKING

KIDS ON SKATEBOARDS WHIZZING BY

WALKING DOWN THE BOULEVARD

AND I FEEL LIKE LAUGHING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY

THE PAPER ON THE NEWSSTAND SAYS NO RAIN, NO CLOUDS

SO I THINK I'LL TAKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

AND SING OUT LOUD

CHORUS:

THANKIN' YOU LORD, FOR MAKIN' TODAY

THIS WONDERFUL FEELING IN MY HEART JUST BLOWS ME AWAY

JUST BLOWS ME AWAY, JUST BLOWS ME AWAY, etc.

 

*Free and Easy was also released on one of Wendell Burton's Lamb and Lion Records albums.  In fact, he released it before I did. His recorded version is slower than mine.  But he once told me he changed it to be fast like my tempo in concert.
