about

Another song about the islands? Well, why not! It's not like I don't think about them every single day...

lyrics

The islands are where I find my inner joy
I guess you can't take the islands out of the boy
So give me a beach of the whitest sand
Oh gimme a beach and hold my hand
Cause the islands are where I live, my friend

Sitting on a boat is where I find peace
I never was so good at that elbow grease
So give me the wind blowing in my sails
Cause my life is a-callin' I need to jump bail
Cause the islands are where I live, my holy grail

I know where there's a lil place for sale
We could escape our life get out of jail
Honey let's head south and blaze a new trail
Come on, look at us, we've never been so pale

In the shade of a palm tree's where I like to nap
I ain't going anywhere, you can keep your map
I'm not trying to accomplish much today
You're blocking my view of the bay
Cause the islands are where I live, where I love to pray
