I got no line, I got no pole I just brought time to this old fishing hole The sky is blue, the water’s clear I got all I need right here There’s a breeze blowing by A little shade, a little sun I’ve got nothing to do And I’m not leaving till I’m done There’s a blue cat on the bottom And a bullfrog on the bank I just pitched a pretty pebble And watched the ripples while it sank Hear the crickets in the meadow Sing the song they’ve always sung I’ve got nothing to do And I’m not leaving till I’m done Well I’m not leaving till I’m done I’m not leaving till I’m through Slowing down this crazy life For just a day or two Yeah, and I think I’ll hang right here And watch the river run I’ve got nothing to do And I’m not leaving till I’m done There’s a ruckus down river And I look up to see the sight Mama duck, she’s gathering up Her ducklings for the night And twilight is gathering too And I’ve only just begun I’ve got nothing to do And I’m not leaving till I’m done Well I’m not leaving till I’m done I’m not leaving till I’m through Slowing down this crazy life For just a day or two Yeah, and I think I’ll hang right here And watch the river run I’ve got nothing to do And I’m not leaving till I’m done I’ve got nothing to do And I’m not leaving till I’m done
