Sit on Back
Easy Times: Reflecting on Life's Labor and Leisure
Lyrics
I'm sittin', whittlin' all about the things I see
I am contemplating and thinking about the things I observe
Call on a board meeting, raised my salary
Attended a board meeting where my salary was increased
You go slow I don't know what you hope to find
You move slowly, and I'm uncertain about your objectives
Sit ya back, and get thought track in an easy time, yeah, yeah
Relax, lean back, and let your mind wander in a relaxed manner
Good mornin' to you neighbor, is your labor worthwhile?
Greeting to the neighbor, questioning the value of your work
Won't you stop it for a moment and smile?
Pause for a moment, smile, and appreciate life
You do your wife and do your lawn where do you belong
Attend to your responsibilities, both to your spouse and your property
And you wonder stop or blunder, all your life is gone
Reflect on your choices, avoid mistakes, as time passes quickly
And over to my left, there's a deep blue sea
To my left, there is a vast blue sea
Chick upon my right lookin' so tasty
A woman on my right looks appealing
You go slow, I don't know what you hope to find
You move slowly, and I'm uncertain about your objectives
Sit you back, and get a thought track in an easy time, yeah, yeah
Relax, lean back, and let your mind wander in an easygoing time
Stand up, what do you think you see, my girl
Stand up, what do you perceive, my girl
Stand up, draw out your misery
Rise above your troubles and face your challenges
Get together with me well Lord umm...umm...umm
Join me, let's connect and share experiences
And do a Scotch and don't you botch it up and don't show
Have a drink, and don't mess it up, don't reveal forgetfulness
That you don't recall who you are
Don't show that you've forgotten who you are
And you've gone far and flashy cars will prove that it's so
You've achieved success, and luxurious cars confirm it
And no one's getting close to gettin' what you know
No one is getting close to understanding what you know
I'm sittin' in the heat of the summer sun
I am sitting in the heat of the summer sun
Fannin', tannin', pannin' out what everyone's done
Fanning myself, contemplating and understanding what everyone has accomplished
The people around me love me being kind
The people around me appreciate my kindness
Set you back, and get a thought track in an easy time, yeah, yeah
Relax, lean back, and let your mind wander in an easygoing time
