Lazy Days
Lindell Eric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All work and no play
Babe, you work too much
All work and no play
Drinkin' lemonade in the shade
Girl, you work too hard
I see you're gone all day
Girl, you work too hard
Girl, you're gone all day
I think you need a couple lazy days
Drinkin' lemonade in the shade
Come on, baby, please
Just like your mama and your pop
Girl, you just won't stop
Just like your mama and your pop
Babe, you just won't stop
I think we need a couple lazy days
Drinkin' lemonade in the shade
In Lindell Eric’s song “Lazy Days,” the chorus repeats the sentiment that the girl he is singing to works too much and needs some time off to relax. He notes that she is always busy with work, all day, similar to her parents who also won’t stop working. While it’s clear that he admires her work ethic, he’s concerned that she’s overworking herself and not taking time to slow down and enjoy life. He suggests that they take a couple of lazy days to drink lemonade in the shade and just take it easy. The tone of the song is relaxed and easy-going, fitting the theme of slowing down and enjoying life.
When listening to “Lazy Days,” it’s clear that the song draws heavily on blues and soul influences. Eric’s vocals are smooth and soulful, and the instrumentation has a bluesy feel with a prominent guitar riff. The song’s laid-back lyrics and simple melody add to the overall relaxing vibe of the track. “Lazy Days” is also relatively short, just over two minutes long, adding to its breezy feel.
