I was playing guitar
And cloudy was the day
My friends they're all off telling jokes
About some fish today
And I'm steady making faces
And looking back at me
Is it you, or who, the thought
Just ran away from me
And we're to busy drinking
To worry 'bout a thing
It's silly now, the way I thought
It's not the way, not the way I think
No, it's not the way I think
Not the way I think
No, it's not the way I think
Running down the road
Don't let the boot kick your behind
Just set down, get off, move on
Down the line
Remember what your Daddy said
You know I wouldn't lie
Himiny-hominy hoba
Meka-leka high
And we're too busy drinking
To worry 'bout a thing
It's silly now the way I thought
It's not the way, not the way I think
No it's not the way I think
Not the way I think, it's not the way I think
