That Lucky Old Sun

(album: Life Journey - 2014)

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
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pining
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river

Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

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
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pining
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river

Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
