Life is much too short for some folks
|
For other folks it just drags on
|
Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
|
Others figure tea is too strong
|
|
I'm the type of guy who likes it right down the middle
|
I don't like all this bouncing back and forth
|
Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie
|
And my head in the cool blue North
|
|
In a small suburban garden
|
Not a single neighbor knows our name
|
I know the woman wishes we would move somewhere
|
Where the houses aren't all the same
|
|
Jimmy, I wish you would take me
|
Where the grass is greener
|
I really couldn't say where it may be
|
Somewhere up high on a mountain top
|
Or down by the deep blue sea
|
|
And there we'll do just as we please
|
It ain't nothing but a breeze
|
|
One day I'll soon be a grandpa
|
All the pretty girls will call me "sir,"
|
Now, where they're asking me how things are
|
Soon they'll ask me how things were
|
Well, I don't mind being a longboarding grandpa
|
If you'll be my awsome grandma
|
I suggest we have a little cool conch salad
|
In the shade down in old Nassau
|
|
And there we'll do just as we please
|
It ain't nothing but a breeze
|
|
Life is much too short for some folks
|
For other folks it just drags on
|
Some folks like the taste of smooth tequila
|
Others figure tea is too strong
|
|
I'm the type of guy who likes it right down the middle
|
I don't like all this bouncing back and forth
|
Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie
|
And my head in the cool blue North
|
|
Yea, me I want to live with my flip flops in Dixie
|
