We've been here a week 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 we 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 we get back home to Texas,
And they ask us what we 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 in the front street bar,
Walking home underneath the stars,
Man it's like some dream we live down here

Last night we ate conch and lobster
Mark said it was his favorite dinner,
Maybe even the best one of his life
Dining underneath the stars
Chilean wine and Cuban cigars,
I smiled at him and said you could be right

And he got real quiet, and he said you know,
hell I worked hard all my life,
I made a lot of dough
I've been everywhere,
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 bilikin beer in the big deck chair
Late night dancin' in a front street bar,
Makin' love 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 we live done there

We've been here a week 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 we must be goin' home
