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

Im the type of guy who likes it right down the middle
I dont 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 somewhere
Where the houses arent all the same

Jimmy I wish you would take me
Where the grass is greener
I really couldnt say where it may be
Somewhere up high on a mountain top
Or down by the deep blue sea

And there well do just as we please
It aint nothing but a breeze

One day Ill soon be a grandpa
All the pretty girls will call me "sir"
Now where theyre asking me how things are
Soon theyll ask me how things were
Well I dont mind being a longboarding
