[00:10.49]It was early one mornin''''
[00:13.07]Playa del Carmen
[00:15.41]That''''s when I first met Jose
[00:19.93]He had a 12 foot Schooner
[00:22.46]A 3 foot cooler
[00:24.89]Full of the catch of the day
[00:28.97]And he was wrinkled from grinnin''''
[00:31.70]From all of the sun he had been in
[00:33.85]He was barefoot, cerveza in hand
[00:38.42]He said "Gracias senor", when I paid him too much for
[00:43.73]All of the Snapper he had
[00:48.11]Now I told him my friend it ain''''t nothin''''
[00:52.86]In the best broken Spanish I knew
[00:56.96]I said I make a good livin''''
[00:59.87]Back home where I''''m from
[01:02.33]He smiled and said Amigo me too
[01:06.19]
[01:06.56]He said I fish and I play my guitar
[01:11.89]I laugh at the bar with my friends
[01:16.48]I go home to my wife
[01:18.82]I pray every night
[01:21.11]I can do it all over again
[01:25.59]
[01:32.89]Somewhere over Texas
[01:35.61]I thought of my Lexus
[01:37.68]And all the stuff I work so hard for
[01:42.33]And all the things that I''''ve gathered
[01:44.86]From climbing that ladder
[01:47.06]Didn''''t make much sense anymore
[01:51.16]They say my nest egg ain''''t ready to hatch yet
[01:56.17]They keep holding my feet to the fire
[02:00.58]They call it paying the price
[02:03.25]So that one day in life
[02:05.88]I''''ll have what I need to retire
[02:09.85]
[02:10.26]And just fish
[02:13.05]And play my guitar
[02:15.49]And laugh at the bar with my friends
[02:20.11]And go home to my wife
[02:22.63]And pray every night
[02:24.73]I can do it all over again
[02:29.62]
[02:31.58]And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made
[02:40.97]When the truth is I''''m really just dying
[02:47.23]To live like Jose
[02:50.93]
[02:52.42]And just fish
[02:55.54]Play my guitar
[02:57.90]Laugh at the bar with my friends
[03:02.50]Go home to my wife
[03:05.01]Pray every night
[03:07.12]I can do it all over again
[03:15.02]
[03:17.65]Wouldn''''t that be the life?
[03:27.12]Wouldn''''t that be the life?
