Intro:
(Verse I)
It was early one mornin
Playa del Carmen
us2
Thats when I first met Jose
He had a 12 foot Schooner
A 3 foot cooler
us2
Full of the catch of the day
And he was wrinkled from grinnin
From all of the sun he had been in
us2
He was barefoot, cerveza in hand
He said Gracias senor, when I paid him too much for
us2
All of the Snapper he had
us2
Now I told him my friend it aint nothin
us2
In the best broken Spanish I knew
I said I make a good livin
Back home where Im from
(NC)
He smiled and said Amigo me too
(Chorus)
He said I fish and I play my guitar
us2
I laugh at the bar with my friends
I go home to my wife
I pray every night
I can do it all over again
Instrumental:
(Verse II)
Somewhere over Texas
I thought of my Lexus
us2
And all the stuff I work so hard for
And all the things that Ive gathered
From climbing that ladder
us2
Didnt make much sense anymore
us2
They say my nest egg aint ready to hatch yet
us2
They keep holding my feet to the fire
They call it paying the price
So that one day in life
(NC)
Ill have what I need to retire
(Chorus)
And just fish, and play my guitar,
us2
Laugh at the bar with my friends,
Go home to my wife
And pray every night,
us2
I can do it all over again
(Bridge)
us2
And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made
When the truth is Im really just dying
To live like Jose
(Chorus)
Single Downward Strums
(NC)
And just fish
Play my guitar
us2
Laugh at the bar with my friends
Go home to my wife
Pray every night
us2
I can do it all over again
Instrumental:
,,,, until end.
Wouldnt that be the life?
Wouldnt that be the life?
