Paroles de 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's too strong.I'm the kind of guy who likes to stand in the middle.I don't like all this bouncing back and forth.Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixieand my head in the cool blue north.In a small suburban garden not a single neighbour knows our name.I know that the woman wishes we could movewhere the houses aren't all the same."Say, Johnny, I would like to go where the grass is greener.I couldn't really say where it might be.But some place high on a mountaintop down by the deep blue sea."There we'll do just as we please, 'cause it ain't nothing but a breeze.Someday I'll be your great grandpa.All the pretty girls will call me "Sir".Now when they're asking me how things are.Soon they'll ask me how things were.I don't mind being an old grey grandpaas long as you'll be my great grandma.And I think we should move with our tea and cookiesto the shade of the old Pau Pau.There we'll do just as we please, 'cause it ain't nothing but a cool 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's too strong.I'm the kind of guy who likes to stand in the middle.I don't like all this bouncing back and forth.Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixieand my head in the cool blue north.I said: Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixieand my head in the cool blue north.
