| [00:10.57] |
It was early one mornin' |
| [00:13.05] |
Playa del Carmen |
| [00:15.21] |
That's when I first met Jose |
| [00:19.84] |
He had a 12 foot Schooner |
| [00:22.13] |
A 3 foot cooler |
| [00:24.72] |
Full of the catch of the day |
| [00:28.87] |
And he was wrinkled from grinnin' |
| [00:31.35] |
From all of the sun he had been in |
| [00:33.71] |
He was barefoot, cerveza in hand |
| [00:38.30] |
He said "Gracias senor", when I paid him too much for |
| [00:43.64] |
All of the Snapper he had |
| [00:48.07] |
Now I told him my friend it ain't nothin' |
| [00:52.48] |
In the best broken Spanish I knew |
| [00:56.86] |
I said I make a good livin' |
| [00:59.72] |
Back home where I'm from |
| [01:02.23] |
He smiled and said Amigo me too |
| [01:05.86] |
|
| [01:06.38] |
He said I fish and I play my guitar |
| [01:11.83] |
I laugh at the bar with my friends |
| [01:16.76] |
I go home to my wife |
| [01:18.82] |
I pray every night |
| [01:21.23] |
I can do it all over again |
| [01:24.99] |
|
| [01:32.84] |
Somewhere over Texas |
| [01:35.33] |
I thought of my Lexus |
| [01:37.57] |
And all the stuff I work so hard for |
| [01:42.26] |
And all the things that I've gathered |
| [01:44.52] |
From climbing that ladder |
| [01:46.85] |
Didn't make much sense anymore |
| [01:51.07] |
They say my nest egg ain't ready to hatch yet |
| [01:55.33] |
They keep holding my feet to the fire |
| [02:00.57] |
They call it paying the price |
| [02:03.11] |
So that one day in life |
| [02:05.77] |
I'll have what I need to retire |
| [02:09.45] |
|
| [02:10.38] |
And just fish |
| [02:13.31] |
And play my guitar |
| [02:15.48] |
And laugh at the bar with my friends |
| [02:20.08] |
And go home to my wife |
| [02:22.43] |
And pray every night |
| [02:24.71] |
I can do it all over again |
| [02:28.53] |
|
| [02:31.59] |
And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made |
| [02:41.12] |
When the truth is I'm really just dying |
| [02:47.25] |
To live like Jose |
| [02:49.76] |
|
| [02:52.43] |
And just fish |
| [02:55.59] |
Play my guitar |
| [02:57.94] |
Laugh at the bar with my friends |
| [03:02.46] |
Go home to my wife |
| [03:04.82] |
Pray every night |
| [03:07.04] |
I can do it all over again |
| [03:10.92] |
|
| [03:17.62] |
Wouldn't that be the life? |
| [03:27.11] |
Wouldn't that be the life? |
| [03:29.13] |
|
| [03:30.87] |
|
| [04:26.27] |
