ELife is just too short for some folk
AFor other folks it just drags Eon 
Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey 
AOthers figure tea is too B7strong 
EHey I'm the type of guy who likes it right down the middle 
I Adon't like all this bouncing back and Eforth 
C#mMe, I want to live with my Afeet in Dixie 
And my B7head in the cool blue ENorth 
[Verse 2]
EIn a small suburban garden 
ANot a single neighbor knows our Ename 
I know the woman wishes we would move somewhere 
Where the Ahouses aren't all the B7same 
Jimmy, EI wish you would take me 
Where the grass is greener 
I Areally cannot say where that might Ebe 
C#mSomewhere high on a Amountain top 
Or B7down by the deep blue Esea 
[Chorus]
AThere we'll do just as we C#mplease

Hey, EI don't mind being a longboarding grandpa 
If Ayou will be my awesome grandEma 
But C#mI suggest we have a little Acool conch salad 
In the B7shade down in old ENassau.

Life is just too short for some folk

Where the houses aren't all the same

Jimmy, I wish you would take me

Where the grass is greener

Somewhere high on a mountain top

Or down by the deep blue sea

[Chorus]

A C#m

There we'll do just as we please

It ain't nothing but a breeze

Soon they'll ask me how things were

Hey, I don't mind being a longboarding grandpa

If you will be my awesome grandma

But I suggest we have a little cool conch salad

In the shade down in old Nassau.
