Текст песни: Sittin' By the River + перевод

Well I don’t have much but I sure got something

That’s a whole lot better than nothing

No matter what hard times are coming

I be sitting by the river all day

(Two, three, four)

Homegrown smoke rolled up in my hand

An old fishing pole and a cold beer can

I quit working for the man

I didn’t like what he had to say

The price of gas is getting heavy

I can’t put a drop in my old Chevy

But that stream is flowing steady

So I’m sitting by the river all day

And I don’t have much but I sure got something

That’s a whole lot better than nothing

No matter what hard times are coming

I be sitting by the river all day

Well, on the other side of the world

There’s a pretty little dark-haired girl

She said maybe we can give it a whirl

If she ever came back my way

From the winter straight to the fall

I be waiting on her to call

Nothing else makes much sense at all

Except sitting by the river all day

And I don’t have much but I sure got something

That’s a whole lot better than nothing

No matter what hard times are coming

I be sitting by the river all day

When my judgement day has come

And I’m standing with the big man’s son

Talking about all the wrong things I’ve done

Right outside that pearly gate

Well, I won’t be in denial

I just take whatever’s coming and smile

Cause I’ve already been to heaven a while

Just sitting by the river all day

And I don’t have much but I sure got something

That’s a whole lot better than nothing

No matter what hard times are coming

I be sitting by the river all day

Like all the sad folks before me

Half of my life’s been a real sad story

But that’s alright, I’m in my glory

Just sitting by the river all day
