Lyrics
Well, I might-a gone fishin’, got to thinkin’ it over
The road to the river’s a mighty long way
It must be the season, no rhyme or no reason
Just takin’ it easy, it’s my lazy day
Just never mind callin’, for I ain’t a comin’
Just gotcha on by me, stay out of my way
Just a little deep thinkin’ would drive me to drinkin’
Just takin’ it easy, it’s my lazy day
I’m a findin’ it easy to mind my own business
I’m keepin’ my nose out o’ everyone’s way
I’m takin’ no orders, ain’t hirin’ no people
Just takin’ it easy, it’s my lazy day
Ain’t askin’ no questions, ain’t giving’ advices
Ain’t datin’ no women, ain’t wanting’ to play
Just a goin’ to look stupid, don’t want to meet Cupid
Just takin’ it easy, it’s my lazy day
