That Lucky Old Sun

(album: I Thank You - 1968)

Up in the morning out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray, oh yes I do
Oh that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around, roll around heaven all day, oh yeah

But the Lord up above, can't you see we are trying?
We got nothing but tears all in our eyes, oh yes we do
This is what I wanted to do
Send down, send down a cloud with a silver lining
Take me, take me to paradise, oh

Show me that river, take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Oh like lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven, roll around heaven
Roll around heaven all day, all day

I know we got to roll around, roll around
Roll around, roll around heaven all day
Thanks sun, all day, all day, all day
I just gotta roll around, roll around...
