Life's Too Short Lyrics - 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
