No Hurry
Zac Brown Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the front yard needs a trim
And the telephone keeps ringing
And the boss man knows I know it's him
And the bills ain't gonna pay themselves
No matter anyway
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
And the smell of early spring
Sit down in a fold-up easy chair
On a quiet shady river bank
Let the world go on without me
Wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
Ain't in no hurry
I'd be a fool now to worry
About all those things I can't change
And the time that I borrow
Can wait till tomorrow
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
When I must return
To the cold cold ground
Have 'em take their time
When they lay this sinner down
Heaven knows that I ain't perfect
I've raised a little Cain
And I plan to raise a whole lot more
Before I hear those angels sing
(Gonna get right with the lord)
But there'll be hell to pay
But I ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry
Be a fool now to worry
About all those things I can't change
And the time that I borrow
Can wait 'til tomorrow
'Cause I ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry today
Zac Brown Band's song "No Hurry" is a song about slowing down and enjoying the simple pleasures in life. The song opens with a list of tasks that the singer needs to do, including washing his car and trimming the front yard. However, the singer is in no rush to do these things today. He would rather sit on a shady river bank with an old fishing pole and enjoy the beauty of spring. He is not worried about bills or work or anything else that might cause him stress; he is simply living in the moment.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this idea of living in the present and not worrying about things that cannot be changed. The singer is borrowing time from tomorrow, but he is not worried about paying it back today. He is not in a hurry to do anything because he is content just being alive and experiencing the world around him.
The final verse of the song acknowledges that the singer is not perfect and has made mistakes. However, he is not in a hurry to make things right with the Lord. He knows that there will be consequences for his actions, but he is not worried about that today. He is simply enjoying the present moment and not rushing through life.
Overall, "No Hurry" is a reminder to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life. It encourages listeners to live in the present and not worry about things that cannot be changed. It suggests that life is too short to rush through, and that we should take time to enjoy the beauty of the world around us.

You know my old car needs washing
I am aware that my car is dirty and requires cleaning
And the front yard needs a trim
The grass on my front lawn is too long and requires cutting
And the telephone keeps ringing
My phone continues to ring with calls and messages
And the boss man knows I know it's him
I am aware that my boss is calling, and he knows that I know it is him
And the bills ain't gonna pay themselves
My bills require payment, and I cannot avoid this responsibility
No matter anyway
Regardless, it does not matter to me right now
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
I am not in a rush today and do not feel pressured to complete these tasks
There's nothing wrong with an old cane fishing pole
Fishing with an ancient, basic fishing rod is completely acceptable
And the smell of early spring
The scent of spring is appealing
Sit down in a fold-up easy chair
Relax in a chair that is simple to fold up when done
On a quiet shady river bank
Chill by a tree-lined river bank that is peaceful
Let the world go on without me
I prefer to tune out the world and devote time to myself
Wouldn't have it any other way
This quiet and relaxing world is perfect for me at the moment
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
I am carefree and unhurried right now
Ain't in no hurry
I do not feel rushed at all
I'd be a fool now to worry
It would be unwise of me to concern myself with these issues
About all those things I can't change
I should not worry about things I cannot alter
And the time that I borrow
I have extra time that I can use as needed
Can wait till tomorrow
I am not under any deadline to finish these tasks today
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
I am relaxed and carefree in the present
When I must return
At some point, I know I'll have to
To the cold cold ground
There will be a point, at some time in the future, when I will need to return to the earth
Have 'em take their time
Those in charge of my funeral should not rush things
When they lay this sinner down
When my body is laid to rest, if there are misdeeds I had done in life, I hope my soul is at peace
Heaven knows that I ain't perfect
Even if I try my best, I know that I am far from perfect
I've raised a little Cain
In the past, I might have caused a bit of trouble
And I plan to raise a whole lot more
And I plan on causing a lot more in the future
Before I hear those angels sing
Before I depart from this world and move to the next
(Gonna get right with the lord)
I plan on making amends and getting my life together
But there'll be hell to pay
Even if I change my ways, there will be consequences for my past actions
But I ain't in no hurry
Regardless, I am not in a rush to achieve these things and am willing to take my time
Ain't in no hurry
Once again, I am not in any rush whatsoever
Be a fool now to worry
I would be foolish to feel anxious or panicked about my life
About all those things I can't change
Things that are out of my control are not worth stressing over
And the time that I borrow
I do not have a deadline by which to finish any tasks and therefore can take as much time as necessary
Can wait 'til tomorrow
If I do not complete everything I need to do today, it can wait until tomorrow
'Cause I ain't in no hurry
Once again, I am carefree and not under any pressure
Ain't in no hurry
I am moving at a slow pace and do not feel the need to rush
Ain't in no hurry today
At this moment, I am not in any sort of rush
