Nellie McKay Long And Lazy River Lyrics

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'm a-wandering, no
Wishing I weren't good at squanderin' all I had

You got a 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 skippin' town
Then 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 got a long and lazy river
To your soul

Color me d___ed
Feelin' petrified, yes
Tear up my plans
Leave me weatherblind
Guess it's passed
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 got a long and lazy river
To your soul
To your soul
To your soul
To your soul
