The Life Testo

Verse 1
It was early one mornin¡¦
Playa del Carmen
That¡¦s when I first met Jose
He had a 12 foot Schooner
A 3 foot cooler
Full of the catch of the day
And he was wrinkled from grinnin¡¦
From all of the sun he had been in
He was barefoot, cerveza in hand
He said ¡§Gracias senor¡¨, when I paid him too much for
All of the Snapper he had
Now I told him my friend it ain¡¦t nothin¡¦
In the best broken Spanish I knew
I said I make a good livin¡¦
Back home where I¡¦m from
He smiled and said Amigo me too

(Chorus)
He said I fish and I play my guitar
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

Verse 2
Somewhere over Texas
I thought of my Lexus
And all the stuff I work so hard for
And all the things that I¡¦ve gathered
From climbing that ladder
Didn¡¦t make much sense anymore
They say my nest egg ain¡¦t ready to hatch yet
They keep holding my feet to the fire
They call it paying the price
So that one day in life
I¡¦ll have what I need to retire

(Chorus)
And just fish
And play my guitar
And laugh at the bar with my friends
And go home to my wife
And pray every night
I can do it all over again

And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made
When the truth is I¡¦m really just dying
To live like Jose

And just fish
Play my guitar
Laugh at the bar with my friends
Go home to my wife
Pray every night
I can do it all over again

Wouldn¡¦t that be the life?
Wouldn¡¦t that be the life?
