Sittin’ By the River

[Chorus]
Well I don't have much but I sure got something
That's a whole lot better than nothing
No matter what hard times are coming
I be sitting by the river all day

(Two, three, four)

[Verse 1]
Homegrown smoke rolled up in my hand
An old fishing pole and a cold beer can
I quit working for the man
I didn't like what he had to say
The price of gas is getting heavy
I can't put a drop in my old Chevy
But that stream is flowing steady
So I'm sitting by the river all day

[Chorus]
And I don't have much but I sure got something
That's a whole lot better than nothing
No matter what hard times are coming
I be sitting by the river all day

[Verse 2]
Well, on the other side of the world
There's a pretty little dark-haired girl
She said maybe we can give it a whirl
If she ever came back my way
From the winter straight to the fall
I be waiting on her to call
Nothing else makes much sense at all
Except sitting by the river all day

{Chorus]
And I don't have much but I sure got something
That's a whole lot better than nothing
No matter what hard times are coming
I be sitting by the river all day

[Verse 3]
When my judgement day has come
And I'm standing with the big man's son
Talking about all the wrong things I've done
Right outside that pearly gate
Well, I won't be in denial
I just take whatever's coming and smile
Cause I've already been to heaven a while
Just sitting by the river all day

{Chorus]
And I don't have much but I sure got something
That's a whole lot better than nothing
No matter what hard times are coming
I be sitting by the river all day

Like all the sad folks before me
Half of my life's been a real sad story
But that's alright, I'm in my glory
Just sitting by the river all day
