A Cabin On An Island

Instrumental

Verse 1

This weather’s crazier than all get-out,

Hotter than Georgia asphalt, no doubt.

Then colder than a well digger’s ass,

Lord, I wish this crazy weather would pass.

One day sweatin’, next day freezin’,

Mother Nature’s lost her mind for a reason.

I’m fed up with this back-and-forth life,

I need a little sunshine and a whole lotta ice.

Chorus

I need a cabin sittin’ smack dab on an island,

Palm trees swayin’ and the warm breeze smilin’.

Piña colada in one hand, longneck in the other,

Pineapple shirt and shorts faded by the summer.

Soft flip-flops and my toes in the sand,

Not knee-deep in that red Georgia clay again.

With senoritas bringin’ margaritas all night,

And a St. Bernard fetchin’ longnecks on ice.

Yeah, that’s my kind of paradise,

A cabin on an island, where the livin’ is nice.

Verse 2

I’ll trade these boots for a pair of flip-flops,

Let the worries roll away with the tide and the rocks.

No weather alerts, no cold north wind,

Just a beachside breeze and a tan on my skin.

Ain’t got a care what the forecast says,

Ain’t gonna shovel snow or scrape no ice today.

Let the world keep spinnin’ and do what it will,

I’ll be kickin’ back where the ocean’s still.

Chorus

I need a cabin sittin’ smack dab on an island,

Palm trees swayin’ and the warm breeze smilin’.

Piña colada in one hand, longneck in the other,

Pineapple shirt and shorts faded by the summer.

Soft flip-flops and my toes in the sand,

Not knee-deep in that red Georgia clay again.

With senoritas bringin’ margaritas all night,

And a St. Bernard fetchin’ longnecks on ice.

Yeah, that’s my kind of paradise,

A cabin on an island, where the livin’ is nice.

Bridge

If that big ol’ dog comes draggin’ a keg,

I’ll scratch his ears and pat his head.

Tell those girls to keep them cold ones comin’,

Ain’t leavin’ this beach till the sun stops runnin’!

Final Chorus

Give me a cabin sittin’ smack dab on an island,

Blue skies overhead and the whole world smilin’.

Piña colada in one hand, longneck in the other,

Ain’t got a care in the world to bother.

Toes in the sand, salt air in my lungs,

A little country soul with a tropical tongue.

Senoritas, margaritas, and a dog by my side,

Lord, I think I found heaven with the ocean for a guide.

Yeah, a perfect paradise,

Just me and that cabin on an island.

Outro

Forget this weather, I’ve made up my mind,

That cabin on an island’s where I’m gonna unwind.

Yeah, a longneck, a beach, and a sunset sky…

And a St. Bernard bringin’ me one more before I dry!
