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

Well, I'm the type of guy that wants to ride the middle

I don't like all this bouncin' back and forth

Me, I wanna lie 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 someplace

Where the houses aren't all the same

Jesse, I wish you would take me where the grass is greener

I couldn't really say where it may be

Oh, some place high on a mountaintop

Or down by the deep blue sea

And there we'll do, do just as we please

It ain't nothing but a breeze

One day I'll be a old grey grandpa

All the pretty girls will call me sir

Now where they're askin' me how things are

Soon, they'll ask me how things were

Well, I don't mind bein' an old grey grandpa

As long as you'll be my grey grandma

But I wish we would move with our tea and cookies

To the shade of the old paw-paw

There we'll do, 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 smokey whiskey

Others figure tea is too strong

Well, I'm the type of guy that wants to ride the middle

I don't like all this bouncin' back and forth

Me, I wanna lie with my feet in Dixie

And my head in the cool, blue North

Oh, me, I wanna lie with my feet in Dixie

And my head in the cool, blue North

Yeah, yeah
