Verse 1It was early one mornin’Playa del CarmenThat’s when I first met JoseHe had a 12 foot SchoonerA 3 foot coolerFull of the catch of the dayAnd he was wrinkled from grinnin’From all of the sun he had been inHe was barefoot, cerveza in handHe said “Gracias senor”, when I paid him too much forAll of the Snapper he hadNow I told him my friend it ain’t nothin’In the best broken Spanish I knewI said I make a good livin’Back home where I’m fromHe smiled and said Amigo me too(Chorus)He said I fish and I play my guitarI laugh at the bar with my friendsI go home to my wifeI pray every nightI can do it all over againVerse 2Somewhere over TexasI thought of my LexusAnd all the stuff I work so hard forAnd all the things that I’ve gatheredFrom climbing that ladderDidn’t make much sense anymoreThey say my nest egg ain’t ready to hatch yetThey keep holding my feet to the fireThey call it paying the priceSo that one day in lifeI’ll have what I need to retire(Chorus)And just fishAnd play my guitarAnd laugh at the bar with my friendsAnd go home to my wifeAnd pray every nightI can do it all over againAnd to think that I thought for a while there that I had it madeWhen the truth is I’m really just dyingTo live like JoseAnd just fishPlay my guitarLaugh at the bar with my friendsGo home to my wifePray every nightI can do it all over againWouldn’t that be the life?Wouldn’t that be the life?
