[Verse 1]
I was tryin' to look busy
Loadin' guitars in the truck
When a fella from the city
Started sizin' me up
It was a long interrogation
With a lot of bad advice
When I finally got a word in
He could see it in my eyes
[Chorus]
I can waste time on a five-year plan
Build myself a house on desert sand
I'd rather put the day in the good Lord's hands because
This livin' don't give a damn (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
I quit savin' all my prayin'
For days down on my luck
Funny thing 'bout when it's rainin'
Everybody's lookin' up
But me, I'm lookin' forward
So I won't ever drown
And I'm thankful just to be here
On this side of the ground
[Chorus]
'Cause I can waste time on a five-year plan
Build myself a house on desert sand
I'd rather put the day in the good Lord's hands because
This livin' don't give a damn
Hey, hey
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
There's all different types of people
Only two kinds of regret
Well, and either way you make 'em
It ain't easy to forget
So, mister, you go your way
Well, and I'll go mine
And there ain't no right or wrong way
When you're doin' what you like
[Chorus]
And I can waste time on a five-year plan
Build myself a house on desert sand
I'd rather put the day in the good Lord's hands because
Well, livin' don't give a damn
