I could've been workin' overtime
Or at home tryin' to make that truck run right
Instead of wadin' out in that stream
All day long barely catchin' a thing, just me and dad
I'm glad he talked me in to that

It was time well wasted and there's no way I trade
A few more dollars in my pocket I could've spent
For a day that I'll never forget, no, I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were makin'
And I count it all as time well wasted

Those leaves were a foot deep in the yard
And 'Wash me' was written all over the car
But watchin' movies all day with you
Wasn't on my list of things to do but we laid
On that couch, girl we never left the house

It was time well wasted and there's no way I trade
A few more things that I could've crossed off my list
For a day that I'll never forget, no, I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were makin'
And I count it all as time well wasted

This world spins too fast if you let it
There's always one more thing to do
Lookin' back I never have regretted
Takin' off early, callin' in sick
And lovin' away a Sunday afternoon

It was time well wasted and there's no way I trade
A few more dollars or things crossed off my list
For a day that I'll never forget, no, I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were makin'
And I count it all as time well wasted, I count it all as time well wasted
