Jimmy Buffett Nothing But A Breeze Lyrics

Nothing But A Breeze Lyrics

(Jesse Winchester)



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



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



In a small suburban garden

Not a single
neighbor knows our name

I know the woman wishes we would move
somewhere

Where the houses are not all the same



Jimmy, I
wish you would take me

Where the grass is greener

I really couldn't
say where it may be

Somewhere 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 soon 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

Well, I don't mind being a
longboarding grandpa

If you'll be my awsome grandma

I suggest we
have a little cool conch salad

In the shade down in old Nassau



And there we'll do just as we please

It ain't nothing but a breeze



Life is much 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



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



Yea, me I want to live with my flip flops in Dixie

And my head in the
cool blue North.
