Nothing but a Breeze Lyrics

Nothing But A Breeze ?? Jesse Winchester (Jimmy Buffet also sang this song)
Intro: E-A-B7-E
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 to ride it 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 names
I know the woman wishes we would move somewhere
Where the houses aren't all the same
Jessy, 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
And there we'll do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze
One day I'll be a old gray grandpa
All the pretty girls will call me Sir
Now, 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
If you'll be my gray grandma
But I'll suggest we go have our milk and cookies
In the shade of the old paw-paw
Instrumental - Verse Chords
There we'll do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze
Life is just too short for some folks
Other folks it just drags on
Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
Others figure tea is too strong
Now I'm the type of guy who likes to ride it 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 feet in Dixie
And my head in the cool blue North
