[Verse 1]
I get things done during the cool morning hours;
It’s efficient and makes me feel good.
I bought some taro corms and eggplants at the farm stand,
And looked for that “puffed snack” I’d heard good things about online.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When I asked if they had it, I was told-unfortunately-
That the maker had retired due to old age.
[Chorus 1]
Overthinking usually gets you nowhere.
So it’s best to act as soon as the idea strikes;
Though for important matters, sleeping on it
And taking a fresh look helps avoid bad judgment.
[Verse 2]
You can’t beat the aging process,
So that part couldn’t be helped,
But it was a shame
That the flavor wasn’t passed on.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
An elderly man I didn’t know greeted me;
I thought he was the driver of a bus parked in the lot,
[Chorus 2]
Overthinking usually gets you nowhere.
So it’s best to act as soon as the idea strikes;
Though for important matters, sleeping on it
And taking a fresh look helps avoid bad judgment.
[Verse 3]
I need to change my motorcycle’s oil;
The rear tire still has plenty of tread left,
So a tire change can wait a while,
But the vehicle inspection is coming up in a month.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
As I let my thoughts wander,
I realize there’s so much to be done.
[Chorus 3]
Overthinking usually gets you nowhere.
So it’s best to act as soon as the idea strikes;
Though for important matters, sleeping on it
And taking a fresh look helps avoid bad judgment.
[Bridge]
The September breeze is cool,
And the forecast calls for rain this afternoon;
The sky doesn’t look like it right now,
But it pays not to let your guard down.
[Final Chorus]
Overthinking usually gets you nowhere.
So it’s best to act as soon as the idea strikes;
Though for important matters, sleeping on it
And taking a fresh look helps avoid bad judgment.
[Outro]
