Even Steven (early version of ”Busy Doin’ Nothin’”)
[Verse 1]
I had to fix a lot of things this morning
They were so scrambled
But now it's okay
I tell you I've got enough to do
The afternoon was filled up with phone calls
What a hot sticky day, yeah, yeah, yeah
The air is cooling down

[Chorus]
Don't waste a minute more, it's the perfect night
Go now get in it you're, you're going to do it right
Drive for a couple miles, you see a sign and turn
Right for a couple blocks, next is mine you'll turn
Left on a little road, it's a bumpy one
You'll see a white fence, move the gate and drive
Through on the left sidе, come right in and you'll
Find me in my house somеwhere
Keeping busy while I wait

[Verse 2]
I get a lot of thoughts in the morning
I write them all down
If it wasn't for that
I'd forget them in a while
And lately I've been thinking about a good friend
I'd like to see more of, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I'll make a call
[Chorus]
I wrote a number down but I lost it
So I searched through my pocket book, couldn't find it
So I sat and concentrated on the number and
Slowly it came to me so I dialed it
And I let it ring five times, there's no answer
And I let it ring a little more, still no answer
So I hung up the telephone, got some paper and
Sharpened up a pencil and
Wrote a letter to my friend
