"Not Wanting To Do"


Those white things in the background in the picture are pelicans. Lots and lots of pelicans.


Not Wanting To Do

© 1990 Brian Hutzell and Wally Koekebakker

Ooo, where can I go?
Where can I learn right from wrong?
Lately, my life has been a road that’s much too long
Going on and on
Using up pencils, writing about my feelings
Run up the wall, look at the ceiling
Been there already, but it wasn’t steady

Ever had one of those days last for a week?
Had a job to find, but not the energy to seek?
Deadlines approaching much too soon
And a million things I’m not wanting to do

At my table, chewing on some gunk
Concentrating more on that than other junk
My face for poker is only mediocre
Got a million things I’m not wanting to do
Falling out of step--a continuing threat
Self-conscious about my age, but at least I’m back on stage

Ever had one of those days last for a week?
Had a job to find, but not the energy to seek?
Deadlines approaching much too soon
And a bazillion things I’m not wanting to do

Ever had one of those days last for a week?
A month?  A year?  A lifetime?
Had a job to find, but not the energy to seek?
Deadlines approaching much too soon
And a whole lotta stuff I’m not wanting to do





With my trusty King Liberty 2-B trombone
in Jester Park, Iowa
