G  C  Em  D
[Verse]
MGmm that breeze feels good don't it
FCeet up on the cooler
Them Emtunes pouring out of that sliding rear window
LDaugh to the beat of that tape deck radio
MGmm it's a heaven on earth moment
GCot a good thing going
REmound and round like the wheels of this Mac
It's a Dsinging along kiss, close your eyes
[Chorus]
I don't Glike this living, I love it
Sweet magCnolia blue sky up above it
I don't Emcall Carolina just a place I visit
I Dcall Carolina home
I don't Glike drinking beer, I love it
On the Cback porch swinging with my honey
Life's too Emshort just to like it so you better get to loving
This lDiving before it's gone
Life's too sGhort
Better get to living if the beer's ice Ccold
You better get to sipping if the song's in the Emair
Get you out a lighter if the party's Drocking
You pull an all-nighter 'Cause life's too Gshort
Woah   WCoah   WEmoah   WDoah

[Intro]

G C Em D

[Verse]

Mmm that breeze feels good don't it

Feet up on the cooler

Them tunes pouring out of that sliding rear window

Laugh to the beat of that tape deck radio

Mmm it's a heaven on earth moment

Got a good thing going

Round and round like the wheels of this Mac

It's a singing along kiss, close your eyes

[Chorus]

I don't like this living, I love it

Sweet magnolia blue sky up above it

I don't call Carolina just a place I visit

I call Carolina home

I don't like drinking beer, I love it

On the back porch swinging with my honey

Life's too short just to like it so you better get to loving

This living before it's gone

Life's too short

Better get to living if the beer's ice cold

You better get to sipping if the song's in the air

Get you out a lighter if the party's rocking

You pull an all-nighter 'Cause life's too short

C Em D

Woah Woah Woah Woah

[Verse]

Mmm that six string's Humming, ain't it

This scene's all God painted

Em D

I'm soaking you in while you're soaking it in

It's like a movie baby, ain't it

Oh don't waste it

[Chorus]

I don't like this living, I love it

Sweet magnolia blue sky up above it

I don't call Carolina just a place I visit

I call Carolina home

I don't like drinking beer, I love it

On the back porch swinging with my honey

Life's too short just to like it so you better get to loving

This living before it's gone

Life's too short

Better get to living if the beer's ice cold

You better get to sipping if the song's in the air

Get you out a lighter if the party's rocking

You pull an all-nighter 'Cause life's too short

[Bridge]

Woah

You better get to pouring

Woah

'Cause life's too short now

[Chorus]

I don't like this living, I love it

Sweet magnolia blue skies up above it

I don't call Carolina just a place I visit

I call Carolina home

I don't like drinking beer, I love it

On the back porch swinging with my honey

Life's too short just to like it so you better get to loving

This living before it's gone

Life's too short

[Outro]

Yeah you better get to living (The beer's ice cold)

Oh you gotta get to sipping (The song's in the air)

Come on and get you out a lighter (The party's rocking)

You gotta pull an all-nighter cause

You know you gotta pull an all nighter

'Cause life's too short

C Em D

Woah Woah Woah Woah
