I never made it
I just put it off a while
Just sleepin' at the bottom of a tree with my shoes off

I never faked it
I just do it awful well
Just dreamin' of a time when I can take another day off


Because ooh, well it's got me down
By the riverside

Got me down today
Well it's got me down
By the riverside

Got me down today
I never craved it
I never do it all

I just wake up in the morning by the tree and shake the dew off
I never saved it
I just hung it out a while

I'm not leavin' with the bottom of my feet up in a U-Haul

You know you look so pitiful

Easily critical
You shouldn't be so cynical
All from the pit of your heart

Well it's cruel the way you pass me by
Well it's hard, and it's hard


Well you've got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today

Well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today

By the riverside...
