Lyrics of Nothing but a breeze

(jesse winchester)

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 are not 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 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.
