[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]
