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 squandering

All I have


You've got a lot that's lame

And all your alibis

I've got a 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 looking 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, yeah

Tear up my plans leave me weather blight

Guess it's past

It's a flash from the other side

Fading fast, goes the mast

It's a better 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…
