Well, haste makes waste and fends away my wasted friends And it don't put you on top of the world And the very rule it bends does say that every story ends With a good guy or a loser and a girl I've walked out on deals And I've rolled away on wheels To a place no man reveals his honest tongue But now my time has come and this injustice won't be done On the earth the way they're doin' it in heaven [Chorus] Well, if you weren't so December I would not have to be a coat And if you were not a river I would not be this kind of boat And I don't feel like And I don't feel like And I don't feel like rowing away When the water done comes and carries me away I'm gonna fly over oceans I'm gonna fly over the hills I'm gonna fly over to the valley where Jesus lives Well, more than many times I have committed minor crimes Eluded straight and narrow lines for easy livin' If I don't look like much, you call me stubborn but I won't budge Accept me Jesus or give back what I have given I've walked out on deals I cannot tell you how that feels Eluded moonlit clearings for way longer ways home Now I'm a sinner pure and plain but for a ride on the Holy Train I won't change 'til you see fit that I'm forgiven Forgive me Lord [Chorus] If you weren't so December I would not have to be a coat And if you weren't such a river I would not be this kind of boat And I don't feel like And I don't feel like And I don't feel like rowing away I don't feel like And I don't feel like And I don't feel like rowing away
