Waste A Little Time

The sun’s up in the sky The clouds don’t even try
The foreman calls my name But I just walk on by

I know that I should go But today I’ll let it flow
I’ve been working all my life With nothing much to show

I don’t try to hide But I sure don’t go inside
It’s the kind of day you want If you plan to let it slide

Regrets are for tomorrow And I’ll have time for sorrow
My baby wants me near And I’d beg steal and I’d borrow

So I’m going to the river Gonna waste a little time
Gonna drink a little whiskey Gonna drink a little wine
Though I don’t have a penny And I don’t have a dime
I’ll be making love tonight With that girl of mine

I know that nothing’s free At least it’s not for me
The rich can judge us all But a rich man sure can’t see

Sometimes you’ve got choose Between rebellion or the blues
Sometimes the only cure Is to say that you refuse
You know that I don’t have that much that I can lose

So I’m going to the river Gonna waste a little time
Gonna drink a little whiskey Gonna drink a little wine
Though I don’t have a penny And I don’t have a dime
I’ll be making love tonight With that girl of mine

This world can drive you crazy
There are times when you don’t give a damn
It can get you thinking like a fool
I see my pretty baby
And she gets me feeling like a man
And I go breaking all the rules

So I’m going to the river Gonna waste a little time
Gonna drink a little whiskey Gonna drink a little wine
Though I don’t have a penny And I don’t have a dime
I’ll be making love tonight With that girl of mine
