Long & Lazy River

You're supposed to have a laugh And have a lot to say You're supposed to have a gas And make your getaway But do you know you can't be wrong How do you know you can't be wrong You've got a long and lazy river to your soul I wasn't sure about anything, no I was secure in a rendering Headed west now I guess I'ma wanderin, no Wishing I weren't good at squandering All I have You've got a lot that's lame And all your alibis I've got a lot of shame And things are dead inside But do you know you can't be wrong How do you know you can't be wrong You've got a long and lazy river to your soul I know I wear you down You're looking awful bored But if you're skipping town And say you'll take no more Well do you know you can't be wrong How do you know you can't be wrong You've got a long and lazy river to your soul Color me damned, Feeling petrified, yeah Tear up my plans leave me weather blight Guess it's past It's a flash from the other side Fading fast, goes the mast It's a better climb, all I had And now I know you're mad I know you're filled with hate I know that as I stand here You know I'm too late But do you know you can't be wrong How do you know you can't be wrong You've got a long and lazy river to your soul To your soul... To your soul...
