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
