Lyrics

Ten days ago you told me we were through
You emptied our apartment and you took my barbecue
I was feeling demoralized
Til my mom gave me some advice
She said keeping busy is the best thing you can do

So I'm keeping busy in my own way
Me and all my buddies we go out drinking almost every day
And I play poker every chance I get
I lost that watch you bought for me on an all or nothing bet
Mom says I'll get over you someday
But for now I'm keeping busy in my own way

I never did your list of honey do's
I'd throw that list away and hit my hammock for a snooze
Now that you've said goodbye
I see that you were right
Laziness can not be called a virtue

So I'm keeping busy in my own way
Me and all my buddies we go out drinking almost every day
Do you remember Marla, her smile is a beautiful sight
I called her up this morning and we're going out tonight
Mom says I'll get over you someday
But for now I'm keeping busy in my own way

Idle hands are the devil's own workshop
So hand me a cold one I'll get busy poppin' the top

I'm keeping busy I thought you should know
I've seen every rerun of that junkyard robot show
And I bought a sportscar it's like I always dreamed
Every time I rev the engine I could swear I'm seventeen
Mom says I'll get over you someday
But for now I'm keeping busy in my own way
