I'd like to send this next tune out to [G#] my parents, Bill and Brenda Jolliff, [D] who are up there in the balcony somewhere.
It's one I grew up playing with my dad called Nothing But a Breeze.

Life is just too short for some folks, for the folks that drove back home.
Some folks like the taste of smoky whiskey, others the beauty's [D] too strong.
Well, [G] I'm the type of guy that wants to ride a little.
I like to spout some back and forth.
But [Em] me, I want to play with [Am] my feet in Dixie [C] and my head in the [G] cool blue yard.
It's a small suburban garden, not a single neighbor knows our name.
I know the woman wishes we would move someplace where the houses aren't [G] all the [D] same.
[G] Jessie, I wish you would take me where the grass is greener, [C] couldn't really say, but [G] maybe.
Maybe [Bm] someplace high on [C] a mountain top, down [D] by the deep [G] blue sea.
[C] And there we'll do just [Bm] as we please, [E] me and [C]
nothing but [D] a breeze.

But [Em] I wish we could move [Am] with our kids [C] to the shade of the trees.
To the shade of the tropical farm.
