JUST A RESTIN

Sittin here under my shade tree
enjoyin the breeze an a smoke.
I'm thinkin bout takin a nap
just a restin from all my recent restin.

Football watchin plum wore me out
pizza pie pressin wore me to a frazzle.
I'm thinkin bout takin a nap
just a restin from all my recent restin.

Sunday afternoon feels just like it should
tuckered out, count a everyone's fussin an messin.
I'm thinkin bout takin a nap
just a restin from all my recent restin.

It's been a spell since I broke a sweat
if'n I stir it's generally to settle a bet.
I'm thinkin bout takin a nap
just a restin from all my recent restin.

Lazy, old hound dog sleepin next to me
wears me out just a pattin his head.
I’m thinking bout taking a nap
just a  resting from all my recent restin.

Done sent the ole lady to Ventriquist school
just so as she’d have someone to talk to...
Thinkin about taking that nap, now
maybe in a bit, after I’ve rested a spell...


(this is closer to the way the cd version sounds)




bleeding...

"Tis ink coming
from his arm,
Captain!"
