Nothin' But A Breeze

(Album: Take The Weather With You - 2006)

Life is just too short for some folks
For other folks, it just drags on
Some folks like the taste of smoky 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 could 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 soon, I'll 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 will be my awesome grandma
And 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 just 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

Yeah, me, I want to live with my flip-flops in Dixie
And my head in the cool blue north
