Life Is Just Too Short For Some Folks;
For Other Folks It Just Drags On.
Some Folks Like The Taste Of Smokey Whiskey;
Others Figure Tea's Too Strong.
I'm The Kind Of Guy Who Likes To Stand In 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 Neighbour Knows Our Name.
I Know That The Woman Wishes We Could Move
Where The Houses Aren't All The Same.
"Say, Johnny, I Would Like To Go Where The Grass Is Greener.
I Couldn't Really Say Where It Might Be.
But Some Place High On A Mountaintop Down By The Deep Blue Sea."
There We'll Do Just As We Please, 'cause It Ain't Nothing But A Breeze.

Someday I'll Be Your Great Grandpa.
All The Pretty Girls Will Call Me "Sir".
Now When They're Asking Me How Things Are.
Soon They'll Ask Me How Things Were.
I Don't Mind Being An Old Grey Grandpa
As Long As You'll Be My Great Grandma.
And I Think We Should Move With Our Tea And Cookies
To The Shade Of The Old Pau Pau.

There We'll Do Just As We Please, 'cause It Ain't Nothing But A Cool Breeze.

Life Is Just Too Short For Some Folks;
For Other Folks It Just Drags On.
Some Folks Like The Taste Of Smokey Whiskey;
Others Figure Tea's Too Strong.
I'm The Kind Of Guy Who Likes To Stand In 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.
I Said: Me, I Want To Live With My Feet In Dixie
And My Head In The Cool Blue North.
