River Bank
Laughing All the Way: Embracing Life's Riches by the River Bank
Lyrics
Well, I won two dollars on a scratch off ticket,
Winning two dollars on a scratch-off ticket
So I went back to the counter and I bought two more with it
Using the winnings to buy more tickets
And I won ten bucks and that was just right,
Winning ten dollars from the additional tickets
So I bought a six-pack and a bag of ice.
Purchasing beer and ice with the winnings
You know even if our ship came in and this is all we got,
Contentment with the present situation despite a potential windfall
It ain't like we really need a million dollar yacht, 'cause
Not needing extravagant wealth like a million-dollar yacht
We got an inner-tube,
Having an inner-tube for river fun
We got a trailer hitch.
Possessing a trailer hitch
We're near the river and far from rich.
Being close to the river but not wealthy
But we have got each other and gas in the tank,
Having each other's company and enough fuel to reach the river
We're laughing all the way to the river bank.
Enjoying life despite financial limitations
Still can you imagine if we ever struck it,
Imagining a scenario if they struck it rich
I'd go shoot tequila take a lime and suck it.
Drinking tequila and enjoying luxury if wealthy
And we'd all tell our bosses they can do the same
Defying authority if they were rich
We'll find a big cruise ship and buy the whole dang thing.
Fantasizing about purchasing a cruise ship
We'd sail around the world and go to shore in a dinghy
Dreaming of global travel despite current circumstances
But 'til that dream comes go and grab your bikini, 'cause
Encouraging fun until dreams materialize
We got an inner-tube,
Reiterating possession of an inner-tube
We got a trailer hitch.
Reiterating possession of a trailer hitch
We're near the river and far from rich.
Highlighting proximity to the river and modest wealth
But we have got each other and gas in the tank,
Emphasizing companionship and sufficient resources
And we're laughing all the way to the river bank.
Enjoying life despite limitations
However it goes (Whatever happens),
Remaining optimistic regardless of outcomes
We got it made (In these shades)
Feeling comfortable and content
'Cause, baby we can float (Behind this boat)
Adapting to situations and enjoying the moment
We can ride a wave.
Being flexible and embracing experiences
We got an inner-tube,
Reiteration of possessions for river activities
We got a trailer hitch
Emphasizing the possession of a trailer hitch
We're near the river and far from rich
Reiterating proximity to the river and modest wealth
But we have got each other and gas in the tank,
Stressing companionship and enough resources for happiness
And it's a beautiful day.
Highlighting the beauty of the day despite limitations
We're laughing all the way to the river bank
Enjoying life and its simple pleasures
