I sit here all day in this shady spot
Under the palapa hut at end of the dock
There ain't much to do
But the view's pretty cool
Watching life pass me by
By the water
You oughta see all the people I see rushing by
They take in the view, take a picture or two
But they never take the time
To just soak it all up, let it all in
Sit for a spell with an old friend
'Cause the love that you give
And the time that you spend
With the ones that you love
Let's you know that you're living
So take a day off and drink few beers
Spend the years of your life
Putting life in your years
And when you see an old wooden chair
Just sit there
Aw but what do I know I'm just a salty old soul
All weathered and worn
But I've seen a lot of folks
Yeah they come and they go
Like another gulf storm
It ain't too hard to figure it out
From where I'm sitting, man life's all about
The love that you give
And the time that you spend
With the ones that you love
Let's you know that you're living
So take a day off and drink few beers
Spend the years of your life
Putting life in your years
And when you see an old wooden chair
Just sit there
Yeah just find yourself a perfect spot somewhere
And take some advice from this old wooden chair
Take a little time before time runs out
Because from where I'm sitting, man life's all about
The love that you give
And the time that you spend
With the ones that you love
Man that's what I call living
So take a day off and drink few beers
Spend the years of your life
Putting life in your years
And when you see an old wooden chair
Just sit there
If you happen to need an old wooden chair
I'll be there
'Cause I sit here all day in this shady spot
Under the palapa hut at end of the dock
Mmm there ain't much to do
But the view's pretty cool
Watching life pass me by
By the water
