I could've been working overtime
Or at home trying to make that truck run right
Instead of wading out in that stream
All day long barely catching a thing
Just me and dad
I'm glad he talked me in to that

It was time well wasted
And there's no way I trade a few more dollars in my pocket I could've spent
For a day that I'll never forget
No, I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were making
And I count it all as time well wasted

Those leaves were a foot deep in the yard
And 'wash me' was written all over the car
But watching movies all day with you
Wasn't on my list of things to do
But we laid on that couch
Girl, we never left the house

It was time well wasted
And there's no way I trade a few more things that I could've crossed off my list
For a day that I'll never forget
No, I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were making
And I count it all as time well wasted

This world spins too fast if you let it
There's always one more thing to do
But looking back I never have regretted
Taking off early or calling in sick
Or loving away a Sunday afternoon

It was time well wasted
And there's no way I trade a few more things that I could've crossed off my list
For a day that I'll never forget
No I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were making
And I count it all as time well wasted
I count it all as time well wasted
