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 has flown
Packin' up the bathin' suits
Getting' out the cowboy boots
That's a sign we must be goin' home
