Long and Lazy River

You're supposed to have a laugh
And have a lot to say
You're supposed to have a gas
And make your getaway

But do you know you can't be wrong?
How do you know you can't be wrong?
You've got a long and lazy river to your soul

I wasn't sure about anything, no
I was secure in a renderin'
Headed west

Now I guess I'ma wanderin', no
Wishing I weren't good at squanderin'
All I have

You've got a laugh that's lame
And all your alibis
I've got a lot of shame
And things are dead inside

But do you know you can't be wrong?
How do you know you can't be wrong?
You've got a long and lazy river to your soul

I know I wear you down
You're looking awful bored
But if you're skipping town
And say you'll take no more

Well, do you know you can't be wrong?
How do you know you can't be wrong?
You've got a long and lazy river to your soul

Color me damned, feeling petrified, yes
Tear up my plans, leave me weather blind
Guess it's past

It's a flash from the other side
Fading fast goes the mast
It's a better climb, all I had

And now I know you're mad
I know you're filled with hate
I know that as I stand here
You know I'm too late

But do you know you can't be wrong?
How do you know you can't be wrong?
You've got a long and lazy river to your soul
To your soul, to your soul, to your soul
