[Intro: Holler Shakers instrumental motif] [Verse 1: Bubba, mature male] I saw a little boy go skipping Past the hardware store at noon He didn't know the evening headlines He just whistled with the tune [Chorus: Bubba with Darlene, unmistakably female harmony] When did we stop skipping down the lane And start rehearsing all tomorrow's rain When did a Monday turn into a load Too heavy for a little country road Let the fiddle laugh and the banjo ring There's still a reason left to sing [Verse 2: Darlene, female] He had no speech about perfection No plan to make the daylight stay He saw a patch of golden clover And danced his worries clean away [Bridge: Bubba and Darlene duet] I can work and mind my business Still remember how to play Thank You for this little morning [Final chorus: full band duet] When did we stop skipping down the lane And start rehearsing all tomorrow's rain When did a Monday turn into a load Too heavy for a little country road Let the fiddle laugh and the banjo ring There's still a reason left to sing [Outro: instrumental answer and resolved final chord]
