(Verse 1) Sun comes up behind the treesDust is blowing in the breezeGot no reason to get dressedGot no boss to mock or press (Verse 2) Pockets light and shoes are wornRipped my favorite shirt this mornWalked down to the corner storeFound a lock upon the door (Chorus) And the world keeps turning roundWhile my feet stay on the groundAin't got much of anythingHear the old mockingbird singYeah, the time is mine todayWatch the hours drift away (Verse 3) Coffee cup is cracked and oldStories that have twice been toldRadio is playing lowNowhere special left to go (Verse 4) Neighbor waves from down the streetDragging both his tired feetWe just nod and say helloAin't no rush for us to go (Chorus) And the world keeps turning roundWhile my feet stay on the groundAin't got much of anythingHear the old mockingbird singYeah, the time is mine todayWatch the hours drift away (Bridge) Money comes and money goesWhere it stops, well, nobody knowsSit right back and ease your mindLeave the worry far behind (Verse 5) shadows stretch across the grassWatch the evening moments passStrike a match and watch it glowTake it easy, nice and slow (Chorus) And the world keeps turning roundWhile my feet stay on the groundAin't got much of anythingHear the old mockingbird singYeah, the time is mine todayWatch the hours drift away(Outro)(Muted guitar lick repeats over a slow shuffle beat)Yeah, nice and slow...Nothing to do...Just me and the blue sky...
