You Don’t Get Nothin Done

You’re so busy all the time but you don’t get nothin done
You’re just deeper in the hole, faster on the run
Farther in the red, straight into the sun
You’re so busy all the time but you don’t get nothin done

You’re getting letters and calls, you can only answer some
You’re losing the light and you’re losing the heat man and it ain’t no fun
You move it with your mind yeah but it weighs a ton
You’re so busy all the time but you don’t get nothin done

What you been doing, where you been going to
When are you ever coming home
How do you make it, is your faith unshakeable
Who do you reach for when you’re alone

You run into a friend from when you were twenty one
He says man you’re looking grim, are you getting any sun
What happened to the wheels yeah with the three eighteen engine
You’re so busy all the time but you don’t get nothin done
You don’t get nothin done, no you don’t get nothin done
You just don’t get nothin done

What you been doing and where you been going to
When are you ever coming home
How do you make it, is your faith unshakeable
Who do you run to when you’re alone
When you’re alone, when you’re alone yeah when you’re alone

Back home they say boy we’d like to see you some
You know dad’s gonna head back south yeah when the winter comes
We don’t want to slow you down, we just want to see our son
You’re so busy all the time but you don’t get nothin done
Yeah what happened to the wheels, we used to have so much fun
Now you’re so busy all the time but you don’t get nothin done
You don’t get nothin done, no you don’t get nothin done
You just don’t get nothin done
