From the recording Back to the Island
Lyrics
Oh yeah, I'm heading home
City wakes me, gray and loud
Cars like thunder, pushing crowds
Coffee's burning, morning rush
All I want is a sunshine flush
Dodging traffic, red light green
Too much noise, too much machine
Every night I close my eyes
See my island, in the skies
I'm going back to the island
Back to where I belong
Back to the easy feeling
Back to my sunset song
Gonna dip my feet in warm blue sea
Feel the sun shine wild and free
Let the trade winds
Bring me
Back to me
Mainland pretty, I'll admit
Mountains high and cities lit
But every place I want to flee
Learned its beauty from the sea
Miss my bungalow by the sand
Simple life and gentle plans
Barefoot days and salty air
No more worries anywhere
I'm going back to the island
Back where I belong
Back to the easy feeling
Back to the easy island song
Gonna dip my feet in warm blue sea
Feel the sun shine wild and free
Let the trade winds
Bring me
Back to me
I'll Trade the freeway for a shoreline
Trade the hurry for island time
Trade the car horns for an ukulele strum
Call me sir, yes, Sir Beach Bum
Too much concrete, too much phone
I just want to go back home
Flip-flop shoes, coconut drink
No more deadlines, time to think
Swap my black tie for ocean spray
Let the tide wash the stress away
I'm going back to the island
Back where I belong
Back to that easy feeling
Back to my easy island song
Gonna dip my feet in warm blue sea
Feel the sun shine wild and free
Let the trade winds
Bring me
Back to me
Yeah, let the trade winds take me
Back to the island
Back to the island
Back to the island
Back to me
