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 its 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
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
