Life is just too short for some folks
For other folks it just drags on
Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
Others figure teas too strong
Well, Im the type of guy who wants to ride the middle
I dont like all this bouncing back and forth
Me, I want to live with my feet in dixie
And my head in the cool blue north
In a small suburban garden
Not a single neighbour knows our name
I know the woman wishes we would move some place
Where the houses arent all the same
Jesse, I wish you would take mewhere the grass is greener
I couldnt really say where it may be
Oh, some place high on a montain top
Bown by the deep blue sea
And there well do just as we please
It aint nothing but a breeze
One day Ill be old gray grandpa
All the pretty girls will call me sir
Now where theyre asking me how things are
Soon theyll ask me how things are
Well, I dont mind being an old gray grandpa
As long as youll be my gray grandma
But I wish we would move with our tea and cookies
To the shade of the old pawpaw
There well do just as we please
It aint nothing but a breeze
Life is just too short for some folks
For other foks it just drags on
Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
Others figure teas too strong
Well, Im the type of guy who wants to ride in the middle
I dont like all this bouncing back and forth
Me, I want to live with my feet in dixie
And my head in the cool blue north

John Denver, pseudonimo di Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (1943-1997), è stato un cantautore e musicista statunitense profondamente legato al genere folk rock. Nato a Roswell, nel New Mexico, Denver ha trascorso la sua infanzia tra il Colorado e l'Arizona, influenzato dalla bellezza naturale del paesaggio occidentale americano che spesso trovava ispirazione nelle sue canzoni. Dopo aver studiato musica al college, si è trasferito a Denver, Colorado, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale suonando in locali e festival folk. Nel 1970 ha firmato un contratto discografico con RCA Records e ha pubblicato il suo album di debutto, "Poems, Prayers and Promises", che ha riscosso un grande successo. Denver è diventato famoso per le sue melodie orecchiabili, i testi poetici e la sua voce calda e rassicurante. I suoi brani più famosi includono "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Annie's Song" e "Rocky Mountain High". La sua musica ha spesso celebrato la natura, l'amore per la famiglia e il desiderio di pace e armonia. Oltre alla musica, Denver si è impegnato in diverse cause ambientaliste e umanitarie, diventando un simbolo di speranza e positività per milioni di persone in tutto il mondo.
