You're supposed to have a laugh
And have a lot to say
You're supposed to have a gas
And make your getawayBut do you know you can't be wrong?
How do you know you can't be wrong?
You've got a long and lazy river to your soulI wasn't sure about anything, no
I was secure in a renderin'
Headed westNow I guess I'ma wanderin', no
Wishing I weren't good at squanderin'
All I haveYou've got a laugh that's lame
And all your alibis
I've got a lot of shame
And things are dead insideBut do you know you can't be wrong?
How do you know you can't be wrong?
You've got a long and lazy river to your soulI know I wear you down
You're looking awful bored
But if you're skipping town
And say you'll take no moreWell, do you know you can't be wrong?
How do you know you can't be wrong?
You've got a long and lazy river to your soulColor me damned, feeling petrified, yes
Tear up my plans, leave me weather blind
Guess it's pastIt's a flash from the other side
Fading fast goes the mast
It's a better climb, all I hadAnd now I know you're mad
I know you're filled with hate
I know that as I stand here
You know I'm too lateBut do you know you can't be wrong?
How do you know you can't be wrong?
You've got a long and lazy river to your soul
To your soul, to your soul, to your soul
