Takin’ Care Of Business – Bachman Turner Overdrive

ByIsland Troy November 17, 2022November 17, 2022

Song Lyrics You get up every morning from your alarm clock’s warningTake the 8:15 into the cityThere’s a whistle up above and people pushin’, people shovin’And the girls who try to look prettyAnd if your train’s on time, you can get to work by nineAnd start your slaving job to get your payIf you ever get annoyed, look at me I’m self-employedI love to work at nothing all dayAnd I’ll be taking care of business (every day)Taking care of business (every way)I’ve been taking care of business (it’s all mine)Taking care of business and working overtime, work out If it were easy as fishin’ you could be a musicianIf you could make sounds loud or mellowGet a second-hand guitar, chances are you’ll go farIf you get in with the right bunch of fellowsPeople see you having fun just a-lying in the sunTell them that you like it this wayIt’s the work that we avoid, and we’re all self-employedWe love to work at nothing all day And we be taking care of business (every day)Taking care of business (every way)We be been taking care of business (it’s all mine)Taking care of business and working overtime MercyWhooAll right Take good care of […]

Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison

ByIsland Troy June 18, 2018May 14, 2021

Song lyrics to Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison Hey, where did we go Days when the rains came ? Down in the hollow Playing a new game, Laughing and a-running, hey, hey, Skipping and a-jumping In the misty morning fog with Our, our hearts a-thumping And you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown eyed girl. Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down to the old mine with a Transistor radio. Standing in the sunlight laughing Hide behind a rainbow’s wall, Slipping and a-sliding All along the waterfall With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Just like that Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah La dee dah. So hard to find my way Now that I’m all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My, how you have grown! Cast my memory back there, Lord, Sometime I’m overcome thinking about Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown eyed girl. Do you remember when we used […]

Volcano – Jimmy Buffett

ByIsland Troy June 18, 2018

Song lyrics to Volcano by Jimmy Buffett Now, I don’t know, I don’t know where I’m a gonna go when the volcano blow. Let me say it now, I don’t know, I don’t know where I’m a gonna go when the volcano blow. Ground, she movin’ under me. Tidal waves out on the sea. Sulphur smoke up in the sky. Pretty soon we learn to fly [Chorus:] Let me hear you, now I don’t know, I don’t know where I’m a gonna go when the volcano blow. Let me hear you now. I don’t know, I don’t know where I’m a gonna go when the volcano blow. My girl quickly say to me, “Mon you better watch your feet.” Lava come down soft and hot. “You better lava me now or lava me not. [Chorus] No time to count what I’m worth, cause I just left the planet Earth. Where I go I hope there’s rum. Not to worry mon soon come. [Chorus] But I don’t want to land in New York City, I don’t want to land in Mexico. I don’t want to land on no Three Mile Island; I don’t want to see my skin a-glow. Don’t want to […]

Knee Deep – Zac Brown Band

ByIsland Troy June 14, 2018

Song lyrics to Knee Deep by Zac Brown Band (feat. Jimmy Buffett) Gonna put the world away for a minute Pretend I don’t live in it Sunshine gonna wash my blues away Had sweet love but I lost it She got too close so I fought her Now I’m lost in the world trying to find me a better way Wishing I was knee-deep in the water somewhere Got the blue sky breeze and it don’t seem fair Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair Sunrise there’s a fire in the sky Never been so happy Never felt so high And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise Wrote a note said “Be back in a minute” Bought a boat and I sailed off in it Don’t think anybody’s gonna miss me anyway Mind on a permanent vacation The ocean is my only medication Wishing my condition ain’t ever gonna go away ‘Cause now I’m knee-deep in the water somewhere Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair Sunrise there’s a fire in the sky Never been so […]

Chicken Fried – Zac Brown Band

ByIsland Troy June 14, 2018

Song lyrics to Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band You know I like my chicken fried And cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia Pine And that’s home you know Sweet tea, pecan pie, and homemade wine Where the peaches grow And my house it’s not much to talk about But it’s filled with love that’s grown in southern ground And a little bit of chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up I love to see the sun rise See the love in my woman’s eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother’s love It’s funny how it’s the little things in life that mean the most Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes There’s no dollar sign on a peace of mind, this I’ve come to know So if you agree, have a drink with me, Raise your glasses for a toast To a little bit of chicken fried And cold beer on a […]

Toes – Zac Brown Band

ByIsland Troy June 14, 2018June 14, 2018

Song lyrics to Toes by Zac Brown Band I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand Life is good today. Life is good today. Well, the plane touched down just about 3 o’clock And the city’s still on my mind Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head I was still in the baggage line Concrete and cars Are their own prison bars Like this life I’m living in But the plane brought me farther. I’m surrounded by water And I’m not going back again I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand Life is good today. Life is good today. Adios and vaya con dios Yeah, I’m leaving GA And if it weren’t for tequila and pretty senoritas I’d have no reason to stay Adios and vaya con dios Yeah, I’m leaving GA Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one And grab my guitar and play Four days flew by Like a drunk Friday night As the summer drew to an end They can’t […]

Fins – Jimmy Buffett

ByIsland Troy June 14, 2018June 14, 2018

Song lyrics to Fins by Jimmy Buffett She came down from Cincinnati. It took her three days on a train. Lookin’ for some peace and quiet; hoped to see the sun again. But now she lives down by the ocean. She’s takin’ care to look for sharks. They hang out in the local bars, And they feed right after dark. [Chorus:] Can’t you feel ’em circlin’ honey? Can’t you feel ’em swimmin’ around? You got fins to the left, fins to the right, and you’re the only bait in town. You got fins to the left, fins to the right, and you’re the only girl in town. She’s savin’ up all of her money. Wants to head south in May; Maybe roll in the sand with a rock’n’roll man, Somewhere down Montserrat way. But the money’s good in the season; Helps to lighten her load. Boys keep her high as the months go by. She’s gettin’ postcards from the road. [Chorus] Sailed off to Antigua. It took her three days on a boat. Lookin’ for some peace and quiet; Maybe keep her dreams afloat. But now she feels like a remora, ’cause the school’s still close at hand. Just behind the […]

Boat Drinks – Jimmy Buffett

ByIsland Troy June 14, 2018June 14, 2018

Song lyrics to Boat Drinks by Jimmy Buffett Boat drinks. Boys in the band ordered boat drinks Visitors scored on the home rink Everything seems to be wrong Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap airfare I’ve got to fly to Saint Somewhere I’m close to bodily harm Twenty degrees and the hockey games on Nobody cares; they are way too far gone Screamin’ “Boat drinks,” somethin’ To keep them all warm This morning I shot six holes in my freezer I think I got cabin fever Somebody sound the alarm I’d like to go where the pace or life’s slow Could you beam me somewhere, Mister Scott? Any old place here on Earth or in space You pick the century and I’ll pick the spot I know I should be leaving this climate I got a verse but can’t rhyme it I gotta go where it’s warm Boat drinks Waitress, I need two more boat drinks Then I’m headin’ south ‘fore my dream shrinks I gotta go where it’s warm I gotta go where it’s warm I gotta go where it’s warm I gotta go where there ain’t any snow Where there ain’t any blow ‘Cause my fin sinks so low I gotta […]

One Particular Harbor – Jimmy Buffett

Song lyrics to One Particular Harbor by Jimmy Buffett E Mea Arofa Teie Ao Nei Ia Ora Te Natura E Mea Arofa Teie Ao Nei Nature lives (life to nature) Have pity for the Earth (Love the Earth) I know I don’t get there often enough But God knows I surely try It’s a magic kind of medicine That no doctor could prescribe I used to rule my world from a pay phone And ships out on the sea But now times are rough And I got too much stuff Can’t explain the likes of me But there’s this one particular harbour So far but yet so near Where I see the days as they fade away And finally disappear But now I think about the good times Down in the Caribbean sunshine In my younger days I was so bad Laughin’ about all the fun we had I’ve seen enough to feel the world spin Mixin’ different oceans meetin’ cousins Listen to the drummers and the night sounds Listen to the singers make the world go ’round Ia Ora Te Natura E Mea Arofa Teie Ao Nei Ia Ora Te Natura E Mea Arofa Teie Ao Nei Lakes below the […]

Cheeseburger In Paradise – Jimmy Buffett

ByIsland Troy June 14, 2018June 14, 2018

Song lyrics to Cheeseburger In Paradise by Jimmy Buffett Tried to amend my carnivorous habits. Made it nearly seventy days, Losin’ weight without speed, Eatin’ sunflower seeds, Drinkin’ lots of carrot juice and soakin’ up rays. But at night I’d have these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat. Not zucchini, fettuccini, or bulgur wheat, But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat. Cheeseburger in paradise. Heaven on earth with an onion slice. Not too particular, not too precise. I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise. Heard about the old-time sailor men, They eat the same thing again and again; “Warm beer and bread,” they say, “could raise the dead.” Well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn. But times have changed for sailors these days. When I’m in port I get what I need; Not just Havanas or bananas, or daiquiris, But that American creation on which I feed! Cheeseburger in paradise Medium rare with mustard’d be nice Heaven on Earth with an onion slice I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise. I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes Big kosher pickle and a cold draught beer Well, good god […]

Son Of A Son Of A Sailor – Jimmy Buffett

ByIsland Troy June 14, 2018

Song lyrics to Son Of A Son Of A Sailor by Jimmy Buffett As the son of a son of a sailor I went out on the sea for adventure Expanding their view of the captain and crew Like a man just released from indenture As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin’ man I have chalked up many a mile Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks And I’ve learned much from both of their styles Son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor Son of a gun; load the last ton One step ahead of the jailer Now away in the near future, southeast of disorder You can shake the hand of the mango man As he greets you at the border And the lady she hails from Trinidad Island of the spices Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet And the rum is for all your good vices Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our Forefathers harnessed before us Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings It’s a son of a gun of a chorus Where it all ends I can’t fathom, my […]

Margaritaville – Jimmy Buffett

ByIsland Troy June 13, 2018June 14, 2018

Song lyrics to Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett Nibblin’ on sponge cake, Watchin’ the sun bake; All of those tourists covered with oil. Strummin’ my six string on my front porch swing. Smell those shrimp- They’re beginnin’ to boil. Wasted away again in Margaritaville, Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt. Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame, But I know it’s nobody’s fault. Don’t know the reason, Stayed here all season With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. But it’s a real beauty, A Mexican cutie, how it got here I haven’t a clue. Wasted away again in Margaritaville, Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt. Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame, Now I think, – hell it could be my fault. I blew out my flip flop, Stepped on a pop top; Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home. But there’s booze in the blender, And soon it will render That frozen concoction that helps me hang on. Wasted away again in Margaritaville Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt. Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame, But I know, it’s my own damn fault. Yes, and some […]

Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes – Jimmy Buffett

ByIsland Troy June 13, 2018June 14, 2018

Song lyrics to Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes by Jimmy Buffett I took off for a weekend last month Just to try and recall the whole year. All of the faces and all of the places, wonderin’ where they all disappeared. I didn’t ponder the question too long; I was hungry and went out for a bite. Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum, and we wound up drinkin’ all night. It’s those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same. With all of our running and all of our cunning, If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane. [Chorus:] These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes, Nothing remains quite the same. Through all of the islands and all of the highlands, If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane Reading departure signs in some big airport Reminds me of the places I’ve been. Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure Makes me want to go back again. If it suddenly ended tomorrow, I could somehow adjust to the fall. Good times and riches and son of a bitches, I’ve seen more than I can recall [Chorus] I think about […]

Song lyrics to Kokomo by the Beach Boys Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama Key Largo, Montego, baby why don’t we go, Jamaica Off the Florida Keys there’s a place called Kokomo That’s where you wanna go to get away from it all Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand We’ll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band Down in Kokomo [Chorus:] Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama Key Largo Montego, baby why don’t we go Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo, we’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow That’s where we wanna go, way down in Kokomo.
