There's an old man sittin on a riverbank With a cane pole in his hand Two teenage boys skippin school Lookin to kick up a little sand Hey your line's not even in the water old man And you ain't got any bait He just smiles and says that's okay I'm not fishin anyway I'm shootin arrows at airplanes Throwin pillows at freight trains Tryin to walk across this clear blue sky Lovin every minute One second at a time Sittin here on top of the world Watchin the day go by He said this world's full of people in a hurry boys Drivin crazy Out in the fast lane We're all on different highways But we all end up In the same old place So i think i'll sit here on this riverbank With my bologna sandwich In this paper sack There's no place in this world that i'd rather be Than lyin right here on my back Shootin arrows at airplanes Throwin pillows at freight trains Just tryin to walk across this clear blue sky Lovin every minute One second at a time Sittin here on the top of the world Watchin the day go by I'm shootin arrows at airplanes Throwin pillows at freight trains Just tryin to walk across this clear blue sky Lovin every minute One second at a time Sittin here on top of the world Watchin the day go by I'm shootin arrows at airplanes Throwin pillows at freight trains Shootin arrows at airplanes Throwin pillows at freight trains (Ooh) ooh. hoo (Ooh) ooh. hoo
