'Neath a Live Oak Tree

'Neath a Live Oak Tree - Red Dvorak

Yeah summertime

That's the time for me

Sitting neath and old live oak tree

The smell of barbecue

Drifting through the air

My feet propped up on an ice chest

Lord I wish that I was there

In a lawnchair

Just kicking back

With a few good friends and a cold six pack

Gary P Nunn playing on the stereo

A pinch between my cheek and gum

And playing dominoes

There's no place that I'd rather be

Than sitting in a lawnchair

Neath a live oak tree

There's no place that I'd rather be

Than sitting with my good friends

Neath a live oak tree

Now

I don't need no swimming pool

When I'm hot and tired

And I wanna get cool

All I need is a cool southern breeze

And a big oll slice of watermelon

Neath that live oak tree

And a T shirt

And my cut off jeans

With the stereo playing

Robert Earl Keen

Take my shoes off

Feel the green grass beneath my feet

I can't think of a better way to

Beat the summer heat

There's no place that I'd rather be

Than sitting in a lawnchair

Neath a live oak tree

There's no place that I'd rather be

Than sitting with my good friends

Neath a live oak tree

Yeah barbecued ribs and pinto beans

And a glass of cold iced tea

And my little darling in her faded jeans

Now that's the life for me

One of these days just you and me

We'll be sitting neath

That old live oak tree

The kids'll be gone but

They won't be far away

We'll be sitting neath

That live oak tree remembering every day

There's no place that I'd rather be

Than sitting in a lawnchair

Neath a live oak tree

There's no place that I'd rather be

Than sitting with my darling

Neath a live oak tree

Just fooling around

Underneath a live oak tree
