Jerry Jeff Walker – revised only slightly by Gail and Cindy đŸ™‚
We’ve been here a month or so,
Now it’s finally time to go.
Can’t believe how quickly time has flown,
Packin’ up the bathin’ suits,
Getting out the cowboy boots,
That’s a sign I must be going home….
Time just stopped for a little while,
We were part of a tiny island.
Made a lot of friends we’ll keep for life.
When I get back to Mississippi,
And they ask me what I missed most,
I’ll shrug my shoulders, and I’ll smile….
Early mornings on the long boat dock,
Drinkin’ coffee as the sun comes up
Lazy days napping in the big deck chair.
Late night dancing on the soft sand bar,
Walking home underneath the stars,
Man it’s like some dream we live down here….
Last night we ate conch and lobster.
Cindy said it was her favorite dinner,
Maybe even the best one of her life.
Dining underneath the stars
Chillin’ wine and cute cigars,
I smiled at her and said you could be right….
And she got real quiet, and she said you know,
hell I worked hard all my life,
Haven’t made much dough.
I’ve been everywheres,
I don’t think it gets any better than down here.
I mean the warmth and love of the people here,
No crime, no hate, or fear
I don’t think I’m ready for the world waiting for me back there….
I need me just….
One more morning on the long boat dock,
Drinking coffee as the sun comes up,
Drinking Blasters in the big deck chair.
Late night dancin’ the soft sand bar,
Having lots of fun under the stars,
Man it’s like some dream we live down here….
Walking home underneath the stars,
Hearing voices from that empty bar,
Man it’s like some dream she lives down there….
We’ve been here a month or so,
Now it’s finally time to go.
Can’t believe how quickly time as flown.
Packin’ up the bathin’ suits,
gettin’ out the cowboy boots,
That’s a sign I must be goin’ home….
