island retreat
 

 

1^st verse

i’m just an old wordsmith

living down here in the keys

it gets hot in the summer

but in the winter i don’t freeze

sometimes i get away

fishing out on the high seas

but mostly i just hang around

enjoying the life of ease

 

hook

that’s what i’m doing in this town

i don’t let anything get me down

you’ll never catch me with a frown

i never make a lonesome sound

i’m doing fine on this isle

you can see it in my smile

nothing’s going to cramp my style

i guess i’ll stay here for a while

 

2^nd verse

i’m just a lyrical composer

at the end of this island chain

spending the nights with miss brandy

and the days with mary jane

i’m just as happy in the sunshine

as i am in the rain

and if ever i get homesick

i just jump on an airplane

 

repeat hook

 

bridge

 

3^rd verse

i’m just a supernatural cosmic cowboy

living life out on the range

and if you knew me in my prime

you’d know it isn’t all that strange

and the ones that have always known me

know that i’m never going to change

cause there’s nothing in my past

that i’d ever rearrange

 

repeat hook
