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 it’s 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
Chorus
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 them 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
Chorus
Ain’t in no hurry
Ain’t in no hurry today
