Jesse Winchester - Nothing But A Breeze lyrics

rate me

Life is much too short for some folks<br />

For other folks it just drags on<br />

Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey<br />

Others figure tea is too strong<br />

I'm the type of guy who likes it right down the middle<br />

I don't like all this bouncing back and forth<br />

Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie<br />

And my head in the cool blue North<br />

<br />

And there we'll do just as we please<br />

It ain't nothing but a breeze<br />

<br />

In a small suburban garden<br />

Not a single neighbor knows our name<br />

I know the woman wishes we would move somewhere<br />

Where the houses aren't all the same<br />

Jesse, I wish you would take me<br />

Where the grass is greener<br />

I really couldn't say where it may be<br />

Somewhere up on a mountain top<br />

Or down by the deep blue sea<br />

<br />

And there we'll do just as we please<br />

It ain't nothing but a breeze<br />

<br />

One day I'll be old gray grandpa<br />

All the pretty girls will call me "sir,"<br />

Now, where they're asking me how things are<br />

Soon they'll ask me how things were<br />

Well, I don't mind being an old gray grandpa<br />

If you'll be my gray grandma<br />

But I suggest we go have our milk and cookies<br />

In the shade of the old paw-paw<br />

<br />

And there we'll do just as we please<br />

It ain't nothing but a breeze
