You know my old car needs washing
And the front yard needs a trim
And the telephone keeps ringing

And the bossman knows I know it's him
And the bills ain't gonna pay themselves
No matter anyway

Cause I ain't in no hurry today

There's nothing wrong with an old cane fishing pole

And the smell of early spring
Sit down in a fold-up easy chair
On a quiet shady river bank

Let the world go on without me
Wouldn't have it any other way
Cause I ain't in no hurry today


Ain't in no hurry
I'd Be a fool now to worry

About all those things I can't change

And the time that I borrow

Can wait till tomorrow
Cause I ain't in no hurry today


When I must return
To the cold cold ground
Have 'em take their time

When they lay this sinner down

Heaven knows that I ain't perfect

I've raised a little cain
And I plan to raise a whole lot more
Before I hear those angels sing

(Gonna get right with the lord)
But there'll be hell to pay
But I ain't in no hurry


Ain't in no hurry
Be a fool now to worry

About all those things I can't change
And the time that I borrow
Can wait till tomorrow

Cause I ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry today
