Wunschliste
Days are getting longer
in Summertime's heat
nose to the grindstone
set on repeat
Back starts a barkin'
blisters on the feet
no time for slackin'
no place for the weak
The boy's are roughousin'
loving wife stands back
family wrestling
and tired piggy-backs
The news came in
much too fast
plans for the future
became plans of the past
(Chorus) He was set to retire
and kick up his feet
plant those tomatoes
travel on the cheap
It was time for siestas
ball games on T.V.
he was too good at living
Death had to cheat
Friends and family
signs of the cross
words of kindness
mourning his loss
He left his kids
a fine blue print
a map of honor
of a life well-spent
They followed his footsteps
one by one
passing down lessons
to their own little ones
(Repeat Chorus)
Yeah. he was too good at living
Death had to cheat
too good at living
Death had to cheat
