busy doin' nothin'

i had to fix a lot of things this morning

'cause they were so scrambled

but now it's okay

i tell you i've got enough to do

the afternoon was filled up with phone calls

what a hot sticky day

yeah yeah yeah

the air is cooling down

take all the time you need

it's a lovely night

if you decide to come

you're gonna do it right

drive for a couple miles

you'll see a sign and turn left

for a couple blocks

next is mine

you'll turn left on a little road

it's a bumpy one

you'll see a white fence

move the gate and drive through on the left side

come right in

and you'll find me in my house somewhere

keeping busy while i wait

i get a lot of thoughts in the morning

i write 'em all down

if it wasn't for that

i'd forget 'em in a while

and lately i've been thinking bout a good friend

i'd like to see more of

yeah yeah yeah

i think i'll make a call

i wrote a number down

but i lost it

so i searched through my pocket book

i couldn't find it

so i sat and concentrated on the number

and slowly it came to me

so i dialed it

and i let it ring a few times

there was no answer

so i let it ring a little more

still no answer

so i hung up the telephone

got some paper and sharpened up a pencil

and wrote a letter to my friend
