Seagulls high in a clear blue sky They're just floating on the breeze Not even flapping their wings at all Living a life of ease And I'm sucking exhaust at a stoplight While they're playing freeze tag in the air Got my face up against the window Man, I wish I could be up there I wish I could do that I wish I could do that If I could do anything in the world I wish I could do that Tomcat lying on the hood of that car He's just soaking up the sun Looks like he's bored from too much contentment Too tired from having fun He ain't got no high blood pressure He knows it'll be OK He's letting his life take care of itself I wish I could be that way I wish I could do that I wish I could do that If I could do anything in the world I wish I could do that I'm hurryin' and worryin' just trying to catch that dime Doing next to nothing and it's taking all my time I can't stop for any roses, I can hardly even yield For the seagulls and the tomcat and the lilies in the field There's a horn honking through my daydream I'm stopped at a bright green light Convertible car cuts around on the left And whips up the ramp to the right I was thinking about how I don't have to fret About where I'll get my food and clothes I don't have to race like the rat in that car But I sure would love one of those I wish I could do that I wish I could do that If I could do anything in the world I wish I could do that
