Ankle deep in a spring-fed creek of my own
Ain't it sweet when you find that place to call home
Chickadees in my beard and the seams of my coat
Fillin' time just like time oughta be filled
Livin' life just like life oughta be lived
Hey just maybe this is all there is
Changing tack on a plan on a manmade skiff
Heading back to the land with a hand on my hip
Final act in a flannel and a wind to whip
Fillin' time just like time oughta be filled
Livin' life just like life oughta be lived
Hey just maybe this is all there is
And all I want is some mountain air
The girl I love with some woodsmoke in her hair
And all I got is some time to spare
Some ground to till, some hopes to get me there
Fillin' time just like time oughta be filled
Livin' life just like life oughta be lived
Hey just maybe this is all there is
Shooting stars just as far as the eye can see
Old guitar in my heart, embers at my feet
Ain't so hard to declare this the life for me
Fillin' time just like time oughta be filled
Livin' life just like life oughta be lived
Hey just maybe this is all there is
