No Hurry
In No Hurry Today: Embracing Life's Simple Joys and Moments
Lyrics
You know my old car needs washing
You're aware that my old car requires cleaning
And the front yard needs a trim
The front yard is overgrown and needs to be trimmed
And the telephone keeps ringing
The telephone keeps ringing persistently
And the boss man knows I know it's him
The boss knows I am aware it's him calling
And the bills ain't gonna pay themselves
Bills need to be paid but won't manage on their own
No matter anyway
Regardless, it doesn't matter
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
I'm not in a rush today
There's nothing wrong with an old cane fishing pole
There's nothing wrong with a traditional fishing pole
And the smell of early spring
The scent of early spring is pleasant
Sit down in a fold-up easy chair
Sit comfortably in a fold-up chair
On a quiet shady river bank
On a serene, shaded river bank
Let the world go on without me
Let the world continue without involving me
Wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't prefer it any other way
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
Because today, I'm not in a rush
Ain't in no hurry
I'm not in a hurry
I'd be a fool now to worry
It would be unwise for me to worry now
About all those things I can't change
About things that I cannot alter
And the time that I borrow
The time I have can be postponed to another day
Can wait till tomorrow
It can wait until tomorrow
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
Because presently, I'm not in a hurry
When I must return
When it's time for me to return
To the cold cold ground
To the inevitable end of life
Have 'em take their time
I don't mind if they take their time
When they lay this sinner down
When they perform the final rites for me
Heaven knows that I ain't perfect
I'm not perfect, as heaven knows
I've raised a little Cain
I've been a bit rebellious
And I plan to raise a whole lot more
And I plan to continue in that manner
Before I hear those angels sing
Before I eventually meet my fate
(Gonna get right with the lord)
(I intend to reconcile with the Lord)
But there'll be hell to pay
But there will be consequences for my actions
But I ain't in no hurry
Yet, currently, I'm not in a rush
Ain't in no hurry
I'm not in a hurry
Be a fool now to worry
It would be unwise for me to worry
About all those things I can't change
About things I can't change
And the time that I borrow
The time I borrow can wait for later
Can wait 'til tomorrow
It's not urgent; it can wait until tomorrow
'Cause I ain't in no hurry
As of now, I'm not in a rush
Ain't in no hurry
I'm not in a hurry
Ain't in no hurry today
Today, I'm not in a rush
