Life`s Too Short — текст песни (Jerry Jeff Walker)

Jerry Jeff Walker, Steady Freddie Krc, Cosmic Bob Livingston

Lately I`m feeling lousy all the time
I picked up my pants sat down tried to figure out why
I had it whittled down to a page or two
And the paper trail led me straight to you
I see life`s too short to put up with the things you do

Spell you cast been messing with my sanity
Call me now baby while you stickin` them pins in me
But I figure if I`m finally over you
Cause I see right through that little `doo you do
When life`s too short to be involved with a witch like you

Life`s too short to get in a rut
Life`s too short to get a bad haircut
Life`s too short to be this long
Life`s too short to admit that you`re wrong
Life`s too short to wear tight shoes
Life`s too short to be blue
Life`s too short to be involved with a girl like you

When I walk out I`ll be free as a man can be
As funky as a monkey swinging high in the jungle tree
And if that lion asks for you or the monkey asks or the elephant too
I`ll send you back home there caged up in your zoo

Life`s too short for cheap guitars
Life`s too short to smoke cheap cigars
Get your kicks from dead beat chicks
For chewing gum down at the end of the bar
Life`s too short for steamship cruise
Life`s too short to be blue
Life`s too short to be involved with someone like you

Yeah, life`s too short to brush and floss
Life`s too short to sleep with the boss
Six way lights or disco bars
Or trying to pick up chicks in a compact car
Life`s too short for a bad tattoo
Life`s too short to be blue
Life`s too short to be involved with a girl like you
Yeah, life`s too short to be involved with someone like you
Yeah, life`s too short to be involved with someone like you
