Karaoké The Life Kenny Chesney

It was early one mornin'

Playa del Carmen

That's when I first met Jose

He had a twelve foot Schooner

A three foot cooler full of the catch of the day

And he was wrinkled from grinnin' from all the sun he had been in

He was barefoot cerveza in hand

He said Gracias señor when I paid him too much for all of the Snapper he had

Now I told him

My friend it ain't nothin' in the best broken Spanish

I knew

I said I make a good livin' back home where I'm from

He smiled and said

Amigo me too

He said I fish and I play my guitar

I laugh at the bar with my friends

I go home to my wife

I pray every night

I can do it all over again

Somewhere over Texas

I thought of my Lexus and all the stuff I work so hard for

And all the things that

I've gathered from climbin' that ladder didn't make much sense anymore

They say my nest egg ain't ready to hatch yet

They keep holdin' my feet to the fire

They call it payin' the price so that one day in life

I'll have what I need to retire

And just fish and play my guitar and laugh at the bar with my friends

And go home to my wife and pray every night

I can do it all over again

And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made

When the truth is

I'm really just dyin' to live like Jose

And just fish and play my guitar

Laugh at the bar with my friends

Go home to my wife and pray every night

I can do it all over again

Wouldn't that be the life

Wouldn't that be the life
