Kim Carnes – Tubin’

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

I could retire on a Caterpillar tire

Somewhere on a river in the great US

The world slidin’ by

Every day is July

Just tubin’ down the river with my mind at rest

Now man wasn’t made to stay locked up in a cage

And workin’ all day ain’t that much fun to do

It’s gonna come to pass

I’ll leave the steel and the glass

Floating down the river down the tube with you

Reuben Reuben let’s go tubin’

Won’t you take me far away

We could live on love forever

And you know that life should be that way

Now maybe tomorrow find some time I can borrow

A dream just needs a window you can climb on through

Don’t wanna wake up some day to find that I passed away

Before I floated on a river down the tube with you

Floatin’ down the river got my mind at rest

Down a lazy river now I’m living’ my best

Sunshine on a river down the tube with you
