Tossin' My Troubles

Hey Riverbank, it's been so long
Expressing a greeting to the Riverbank, indicating a significant passage of time since the last encounter.
I'm glad to see you ain't gone
Relief at discovering that the Riverbank is still present, suggesting a sense of constancy or familiarity.
You're the best escape I've ever known
Describing the Riverbank as a reliable and effective means of escape from troubles.
Coming to you is like coming home

I could barely wait to be layin' low
Expressing anticipation and eagerness to relax and unwind at the Riverbank.
And this whole damn week went way too slow

I've been looking for some time

I ain't got much, but it's all mine

Tossin' my troubles in the water
Introducing the theme of discarding troubles by tossing them into the water.
'Til every single one is gone

And as they float downstream away from me
Imagining troubles floating away downstream, emphasizing a separation from difficulties.
I'm gonna sit back and watch 'em roll on

Hey Lazy Day, now where you been?
Greeting Lazy Day and inquiring about its absence, suggesting a desire for leisure or relaxation.
Me, I've been workin' hard since I don't know when
Contrasting one's own hard work with the elusive nature of Lazy Days.
Lately, your kind's been hard to find
Observing a scarcity of leisurely days lately, highlighting the rarity of relaxation.
But I tell you what, you've been on my mind
Expressing a persistent thought about Lazy Days despite a busy schedule.
