Mr. WastinTheTimeAway!
(Verse 1)
Your fields are lying, languished, as the Autumn warns of Winter’s Cold.
The children cry in anguish!
With sullen eyes, their mother weeps for cupboards bare and bankers owed.
Your Duty you’ve forsaken! Lo, your neighbor hauls his Harvest load!
(Chorus)
While the others were all working for bills to pay, he was just lyin’ in the sun.
He never was one for the hard-earned pay. Thought the race was somehow run.
With those sleepy blue eyes, doll, he looked your way, and it was all but said and done.
If you fall for Mr. Wastin’ the Time Away…pack your heart and RUN!!!
(Verse 2)
The days you shoulda been planting seeds and pulling weeds and pushing plow,
The only sweat that was breaking was on her brow.
The joy of home and children’s song gave way to wonderin’ how
you’ll ever get from under the bills to pay. What shelter you can run to now?
(Chorus)
While the others were all working for bills to pay, he was just lyin’ in the sun.
He never was one for the hard-earned pay. Thought the race was somehow run.
With those sleepy blue eyes, doll, he looked your way, and it was all but said and done.
If you fall for Mr. Wastin’ the Time Away…pack your heart and RUN!!!
(Verse 3)
Across your fields, discover the reason “work is through when work is done.”
Take heed who, in the right season, planted true and won.
The fruit of the one who put off all the ease reap their load come calendar’s run.
If you ever could recover the time slipped by…
Mr. “Wouldn’t Do” will never do.
So leave him all un-done!
Unh!
(Chorus)
While the others were all working for bills to pay, he was just lyin’ in the sun.
He never was one for the hard-earned pay. Thought the race was somehow run.
With those sleepy blue eyes, doll, he looked your way, and it was all but said and done.
If you fall for Mr. Wastin’ the Time Away…pack your heart and RUN!!!
Pack your heart and Run!
Pack your heart and Run!
Pack your heart and Run!
Pack your heart!
RUN!!!
