Lyrics:Jesse Winchester Music:Jesse Winchester | |
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 | |
Well, I'm the type of guy who | |
wants to ride 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 some place | |
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 | |
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 pawpaw | |
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's too strong | |
Well, I'm the type of guy who wants to ride 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 |

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 | |
Well, I' m the type of guy who | |
wants to ride 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 some place | |

Oh, some place high on a mountain top | |
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' | |
