Story Behind The Song
Thought of the song while waiting at airport.
Song Description
Now that I am older and getting even older I don't want to spend too much time waiting (didn't want to either when I was young but I had lots more time left). I wanted to say in a cool rock song what lots of people are feeling - misery loves company!

Lyrics
Want The Short Line
Music and Lyrics by Jim Krochka
Intro.
Wait - Gas station man says I gotta go back
Wait - Maitre'd says it's tables they lack
Wait - Can't get a tee time because I'm a hack
Wait - Can't get on that ride, I got no fastrack
Instru.
Life's too short, I want the short line
Gotta Have the short line
Gimme... that short line
Life would be so fine
Just show me the sign
For the short line
Wait - schools say we gotta cut back
Wait - at sign up time it's jam-packed
Wait - airport security giving me flak
Wait - plane delayed again I can't keep track
Life's too short, I want the short line
Gotta have the short line
Gimme... that short line
Life would be so fine
Just show me the sign
For the short line
Life's too short to be on hold
Can't they support what they sold?
I don't know cause I've never been told
But when I find the short line
It'll be like gold
Instru.
Wait - cable man says between 8 and 4
Wait - can't be there, gotta mind the store
Wait - on hold for the next operators
Wait - like for them to meet my pet alligators
Wait - gotta download the latest software
Wait - want a life where I haven't a care
Life's too short, I want the short line
Gotta have the short line
Gimme... that short line
Life would be so fine
Just show me the sign
For the short line
