[Verse 1]
Life is just too short for some folks
For other folks, it just drags on
Some folks like the taste of smoky whiskey
Others figure tea is too strong

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
In a small suburban garden
Not a single neighbor knows our name
I know the woman wishes we could move somewhere
Where the houses aren't all the same

[Verse 4]
Jimmy, I wish you would take me where the grass is greener
I really couldn't say where it may be
Somewhere up high on a mountain top
Or down by the deep blue sea

[Chorus]
And there we'll do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze
[Verse 5]
One day soon, I'll 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

[Verse 6]
Well, I don't mind being a longboarding grandpa
If you will be my awesome grandma
And I suggest we have a little cool conch salad
In the shade down in old Nassau

[Chorus]
And there we'll do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze

[Verse 7]
Life is just 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

[Verse 2]
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
[Outro]
Yeah, me, I want to live with my flip-flops in Dixie
And my head in the cool blue north
