Work And Worry
|
(Darryl Worley/Steve Leslie)
|
|
Old Man Amos Johnson had a mansion on the hill
|
A brand new car, a lumberyard, and a big ol' stack of bills
|
Folks around these parts say he could
|
Buy the whole damn town
|
But all the money in the world won't help poor Amos now
|
|
Chorus 1:
|
Work and worry, work and worry
|
Yeah, old man Johnson done checked out early
|
Spent all his time on work and worry
|
Work and worry, work and worry
|
If you wanna leave this world in a hurry
|
Spend all your time on work and worry
|
|
Why can't you take it easy, man
|
You've worked hard all your life
|
You still got time
|
To go wet a line
|
And Get to know your wife
|
Or you can pick and shovel till you draw your final breath and
|
We'll make sure you're tombstone reads
|
He worked himself to death
|
|
Chorus 2:
|
Work and worry, work and worry
|
Makes your hair fall out and your eyes get blurry
|
When you cuss and fret and work and worry
|
Work and worry, work and worry
|
If you wanna leave this world in a hurry
|
Spend all your time on work and worry
|
Everybody now
|
|
You've seen 'em come and go
|
I'd think by now you'd know
|
Why can't you get it through your head
|
That stuff'll kill you graveyard dead
|
|
Chorus 3:
|
Work and worry, work and worry
|
Yeah, old man Johnson done checked out early
|
Spent all his time on work and worry
|
Work and worry, work and worry
|
Makes your hair fall out and your eyes get blurry
|
When you cuss and fret and work and worry
|
Work and worry, work and worry
|
If you wanna leave this world in a hurry
|
Spend all your time on work and worry
|
|
Ah, yeah
|
Work and worry
|
Don't work, don't worry
|
Don't work, don't worry
|
Don't work and worry yourself to death
|
|
I ain't gonna do it
|
Alright
|
|
Whole lot more to it
|
I ain't gonna do it
|
Da da da...
