Leisurely Living

[Verse 1] I got my slippers by the door My card game set for one more score The porch swing creaks in perfect time And the kettle sings my old slow rhyme Clock face hushed, the afternoon Moves like a tune in a silver spoon I keep my worries in a drawer Then shut it soft and ask for more [Pre-Chorus] Let the day roll by Let my bones unwind One deep breath, one grin And I’m back again [Chorus] Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya Yodel my troubles away Yodel my troubles away Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya I’m old enough to stay Old enough to stay [Verse 2] I fold my socks with gospel care Set out two pears in the cool air The neighbor waves from across the lawn Like every little race is gone I got a chair that knows my name A back screen door and a domino game My grandkids laugh, then run for miles And leave me here with my patient smile [Pre-Chorus] Let the day roll by Let my knees go loose If the world spins fast I still got a groove [Chorus] Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya Yodel my troubles away Yodel my troubles away Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya I’m old enough to stay Old enough to stay [Bridge] When the moon climbs in And the hall goes dim I hum low and slow Till the shadows glow [Final Chorus] Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya Yodel my troubles away Yodel my troubles away Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya I’m old enough to stay Old enough to stay
