From the recording Foul Weather Friends
Lyrics
Justified Shuffle
Sitting on the porch with nothing to do
No one but the clouds watching me play the blues
Well these days it ain’t easy
Justifying wasting my time
Playing on the corner for a couple of bucks
But I was only singing for construction trucks
Well these days it ain’t easy
Justifying wasting my time
Chorus:
I know, I know
I know, I know
Well these days it ain't easy
Justifying wasting my time
Found 5 dollars in the green park grass
Took it to the store, but they don’t take cash
Well these days it ain’t easy
Justifying wasting my time
Six strings and a prayer ain’t no cure for the plague
And all of my gear won’t fix this broken leg
Well these days it ain’t easy
To justify wasting my time
But maybe it’ll help us all to spark a little joy
Lord knows it’s hard to come by, boy
‘Cause these days it ain’t easy
To justify wasting my time
