Skatin'

(timothy b. schmit)

Taking it easy
Wasting my time everywhere i go
Then you try to please me
Telling me things i already know
Think i'm going on a vacation
Slippin' on my shoes
Do i need an explanation,
One that i can use?
But i know - that it shows - here i go

Skatin'...oh -
Skatin'...over the water
Skatin'...through my heart,
Through my heart i go

I can't deny it
Giving is such an easy task
You just got to try it
'stead of wondering what you're
Gonna ask
Outside my window it's freezin'
And the day is new
Tell myself that i believe in
What i know ain't true
Yes i do know - that it shows - here i go

Skatin'...oh -
Skatin'...over the water
Skatin'...through my heart,
Through my heart i go

What good does it do for me to say
You're going nowhere?
On the lake the ice will pave your way
Leave it all behind just to get there

Skatin'...oh -
Skatin'...over the water
Skatin'...through my heart,
Through my heart i go
