Mar Caribe

He came down from Montana
Looking for a better way
All he ever found was trouble
But that never kept him away

He hitched a ride from several truckers
Through various Tornado Alley towns
But he wouldn't change this for the world
Even though it's had its ups and downs

Mar Caribe, Havana town
In a tiny turquoise shack down by the sea
Mar Caribe, I'll call you home
In this world, there isn't any better place for me

He worked his way down to Miami
Borrowed a boat out of Key Biscayne
From an old friend who owed him money
It's probably best not to explain
He made it in no time to Key Largo
But had no intention of staying in the Keys
For there he found a treetop flyer
Who would smuggle him into the Pearl of the Antilles

Mar Caribe, Havana town
In a tiny turquoise shack down by the sea
Mar Caribe, I'll call you home
In this world, there isn't any better place for me

The more he thought about that forbidden island
The more he longed to go
And it was so much nicer than what he saw
On the late night TV show

Two weeks and two days crept by slowly
His journey finally came to an end
He had finally found a home he's always dreamt of
And there the rest of his life he would spend

He had absolutely no regrets from leaving
Montana always did give him the blues
Cold weather digs its way down to the bones
But now he could walk the beach without his shoes

Mar Caribe, Havana town
In a tiny turquoise shack down by the sea
Mar Caribe, I'll call you home
In this world, there isn't any better place for me

Mar Caribe, Havana town
In a tiny turquoise shack down by the sea
Mar Caribe, I'll call you home
In this world, there isn't any better place for me
