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
