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 rendering
Headed west now I guess I'ma wanderin
No
Wishing I weren't good at squanderin all I had
You gotta lot that's lame and royal alibis
I gotta 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 lookin 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 weatherblind
Guess it's past
It's a flash
From the other side
Fadin fast
Goes the mast
It's a bitter 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...
To your soul...
