Wasting Time
Autumn day, misty haze hangin in the sky
Fresh out of bed, the day ahead is cluttering my mind
Coffeed and deodorized, and I m out the door
I get a funny feeling that I ve been through this before
Like a finely tuned machine manufacturing the day
Careful not to let a wandering thought get in they way
Returning home, all alone, a couple prime time shows and then
Back in bed, and soon, I dread, I m gonna do it all again
I earn my keep and mange to live fairly comfortably
And I make my contribution to our great society
I take every advantage, I spend wisely every dime
And I may rest, but my life don t have room for wastin time
Autumn night, firelight dancing on my eyes
Steppin to the songs I sing on weathered railroad ties
Skippin stones off steel to watch the sparks cut through the night
And my two best friends in the world are walkin by my side
There really is no reason for this party thrown for three
Our one qualification is it s where we want to be
No topic or agenda, and no way to deny
We ain t achieving or producing, we must simply wastin time
And who s to say no profit will result from this ordeal?
I m a richer man by plenty if you judge by how I feel
And if time could be well wasted and thoughts could be well spent
And friendship is a gift to share, then I can be content
If your life gets busy and you can t find time for you
And people don t care who you are as long as they like what you do
Find a precious friend or two and your favorite place to be
Or make it to the railroad, and you can waste some time with me
Fresh out of bed, the day ahead is cluttering my mind
Coffeed and deodorized, and I m out the door
I get a funny feeling that I ve been through this before
Like a finely tuned machine manufacturing the day
Careful not to let a wandering thought get in they way
Returning home, all alone, a couple prime time shows and then
Back in bed, and soon, I dread, I m gonna do it all again
I earn my keep and mange to live fairly comfortably
And I make my contribution to our great society
I take every advantage, I spend wisely every dime
And I may rest, but my life don t have room for wastin time
Autumn night, firelight dancing on my eyes
Steppin to the songs I sing on weathered railroad ties
Skippin stones off steel to watch the sparks cut through the night
And my two best friends in the world are walkin by my side
There really is no reason for this party thrown for three
Our one qualification is it s where we want to be
No topic or agenda, and no way to deny
We ain t achieving or producing, we must simply wastin time
And who s to say no profit will result from this ordeal?
I m a richer man by plenty if you judge by how I feel
And if time could be well wasted and thoughts could be well spent
And friendship is a gift to share, then I can be content
If your life gets busy and you can t find time for you
And people don t care who you are as long as they like what you do
Find a precious friend or two and your favorite place to be
Or make it to the railroad, and you can waste some time with me
