Nothing But a Breeze lyrics

Life is just 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 who wants to right 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 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 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 be old gray 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 an old gray grandpa

As long as you'll be my gray grandma

But I wish we would move with our tea and cookies

To the shade of the old paw-paw

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 smokey whiskey

Others figure tea is too strong

Well, I'm the type of guy who wants to right the middle

I don't like all this bouncing back and forth

Me, I wanna live with my feet in Dixie

And my head in the cool blue North

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

And my head in the cool blue North, yeah yeah
