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 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

And my head in the cool blue North
