Sometimes you need to put a smile on your own face, because the world won't do it for you. This song came from such a need, and every time I play it, I do indeed end up with a smile on my face. Ah, the power of music...
lyrics
C G
Goofin' & smilin', goofin' & smilin', on the beach
C F
Goofin' & smilin', goofin' & smilin', far out of reach
C G C F G
And you wonder, if I'll ever, come back
C
No I don't need no fancy car
F
No I don't need to go that far
C
And I don't want your damn cell phone
F
With or without the cool ringtone
G F F
Cuz I'm, yeah I'm
C G
Goofin' & smilin', goofin' & smilin', on the beach
C F
Goofin' & smilin', goofin' & smilin', far out of reach
C G C F G
And you wonder, if I'll ever, come back
C G
My home is the island, my mom is the sea
Am F
I fish for my supper, the sun smiles at me
C G
I live on a boat at the whim of the wind
Am F
I look at my life and I can't help but grin,
G F G
Cuz I'm, yeah I'm
C G
Goofin' & smilin', goofin' & smilin', on the beach
C F
Goofin' & smilin', goofin' & smilin', far out of reach
C G C F G
And you wonder, if I'll ever, come back
