I don't recall what I was late for,
It was hot on his front porch that day,
and he'd had time to think
He said, you can't get there from here,
Now don't just do something,
sit there, sir, forget the race,
So don't just do something,
that won't change nothing
I was pouring out my life
And how on earth I'd ended up
with three kids, two cars, one wife
There's days I'm close to letting it go,
but nothing seems to help
He said, no matter how hard you run,
no, you cannot run yourself
Now don't just do something,
This crazy old world tears up everyone
So don't just do something,
that won't change nothing
Your glass ain't half empty
We could all use a shot of
And don't just do something,
So don't just do something,
that won't change nothing
Just don't move a muscle,
that won't change nothing
