Long Way Round

I got up this morning took the long way around
Not too much upon my mind, trying to slow it down
Not much in a hurry, no particular place to be
Listening to all the things I hear and lookin at what I see
what I see
The son of a preacher man and a poet, by the way
Up half the night raising cane and working the fields all day
Praying for the rain to fall and wash my blues away
Thanking all my stars above for all I had that day

Time keeps on rollin, will I be satisfied
Just trying to do my livin all before I die
And if I just keep a'gettin on, another day to see
The sun shines upon my face and the blues, they let me be
Oh the blues, they let me be
Oh the blues, they let me be
