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

(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.
