Don't want to read the paper Or turn on the news Don't want another helping of the same old blues Don't want to call nobody Or answer the phone What I want is everybody to leave us alone (chorus) Let us sit down in the porch swing Sip a little ice tea Play with the kids in the yard Hey it's time to get lazy Had enough crazy Life ain't got to be so hard Oh, life don't have to be so hard No it don't Want to stop and smell the roses I don't want to run Want to catch up on the talkin that we hadn't done The only big decision that I want to make Is do we take this conversation down to the lake (chorus) Or do we sit down in the porch swing Sip a little ice tea Play with the kids in the yard Hey it's time to get lazy Had enough crazy Life ain't got to be so hard Oh, life don't have to be so hard More time with you less time for worry More slowing down less in a hurry (chorus) So we can sit down in the porch swing Sip a little ice tea Play with the kids in the yard Hey its time to get lazy Had enough crazy Life ain't got to be so hard Oh, life don't have to be so hard No it don't baby
