lazy bones summer day.Thanks to Neil for the bridge
v
Fish ain't biting, that's OK I can wait
legs a dangling as I contemplate
That summer sun makes you feel glad you're alive
rarely been a cloud to spoil my big blue sky
v
Old dog snores loudly 'bout all he does
honey bees flying past my head, buzz buzz
Darlin's planning supper based on my big catch
only thing I've managed is a poison ivy rash
c
Busy doing nothing on this lazy bones summer day
radio softly plays summer songs from yesterday.
Not sure what's Groovin' on a Sunday Afternoon?
Guess it's feeling good when everythings in tune?
Could sure get used too these lazy river bank ways
busy doing nothing on this lazy bones summer day
v
Might try up river to change my luck
surprise folks at home if i bagged a duck
Even have myself a good old skinny dip
chancing a sore backside so I can't sit
B
From lazy bones to sleepy head,
To I'll give it another try
But thankfully I'll sleep well
With the best catch of my life.

A real good start, maybe have an "awe isn't that sweet" by having him realize how lucky he is.

Hey Travis, Awww...isn't that sweet!  I DO like Neil's suggestion for the bridge -- it works really well, especially since you set us up that his darling's around! Real sweet write! Lisa

I really like this one cousin. Have always loved songs about the summer for some reason. I've got to say this is one of the better ones I've seen. More great imagery, a strong chorus, and great bridge!

Travis, Your words truly capture the spirit of summer. And I like your bridge, where you indicate your woman or wife is more important than any fish you might catch.
