Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I mighta gone fishin', I got to thinkin' it over
The road to the river is a mighty long way
Well, it must be the season, no rhyme or no reason
I'm takin' it easy, it's my lazy day
[Verse 2]
And never mind callin' 'cause I ain't comin'
Just get you on by me, stay out of my way, stay out of my way
A little deep thinkin' could drive me to drinkin'
Hey, I'm takin' it easy, it's my lazy day
[Instrumental]
Well, I mighta gone fishin', I got to thinkin' it over
The road to the river, it's a mighty long way
It must be the season, no rhyme or no reason
I'm takin' it easy, it's my lazy day
