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
