New Music: Nothin' Better to Do (Revisited)

This is probably the only song I've ever written that I like. It might have something to do with the fact that it's honest despite the simple lyrics. I wrote this for my son Jeremy last summer on 4th of July. We stayed home instead of going out to see the fireworks. Instead we went for a walk and went hunting for fireflies. I finally got around to adding another verse.

Also, I'd like to give this song back to the folk community that has given me so much great music, so it's Creative-Commons or what-ever they're calling it these days. Hope you like. :)

Nothin' Better To Do

Intro:
(c)(f)(g)(c) x2

It's a (c)'nother July afternoon,
and (f)I got nothin' better to do
than (low-g)pick on my banjo and sing a song
(c)for you.

There's a whole lotta chores we gotta do,
but there's really nothin' I'd rather do
than grab a seat 'n' sit out-side
with you.

bridge:
(c)(f)(g)(f)(c) x2

'Nother year's gone by; you learned to ride your bike.
There's a lotta new things you've learned to like
There's a lotta new things that I can learn
from you.

Just take your time growing up
You're gettin so big, you're gettin' tough.
Won't be so long I'll be looking up
to you.

bridge:
(c)(f)(g)(f)(c) x2

There's fire-flies out tonight.
Gonna fly all around with their pretty lights
Ahm'onna take a walk and enjoy the sight
with you.

I don't got time for another verse.
Too lazy to figure out and reherse.
I'd rather go outside and spend my time
with you.

outro:
(c)(f)(g)(c) x2
