you're  supposed to have a laugh  and have a lot  to say
you're  supposed to have a gas  and make your getaway
but  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
i  wasn't sure about anything, no
i  was secure in a rendering  headed  west
 now  i guess i'm a-wandering low
wishing  i weren't good at squandering all i  had
you've  got a lot that's lame  and royal alibis
i  got a lot of shame and  thing are dead inside
but  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
color  me damned, feeling petrified,  yes
tear  up my plans, leave me weatherblind.  guess  it's  past
 it's  a flash, from  the otherside
fading  fast goes the mast, it's a bitter  climb all i  had
and  now i know your mad, i know  you're filled  with hate
i  know that as i stand here  you know i'm too late
but  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
