Tropical Heaven

Ladies all dressed up in a rainbow of colors
Walk down the boulevard - So pleasin' to the eye
It's well past time to leave but then again why worry
You're never late when you're livin' on island time

All the bars downtown fill the air with music
The flavors come together-Reggae, Zydeco, and Rock.
There's a band that does country dressed in shorts and sandals
Playin' some Buffett just around the block.
There's something here you can't put in a bottle.

Beyond the smilin' faces and the sun that makes you tan
The weatherman may sin but all is forgiven
You'll find paradise is here - In tropical heaven

This is where Jean Lafitte buried his treasure
It's out on Pelican Island covered in cement
Galveston sits at the foot of Houston
When you cross that causeway your worries you'll forget

There's something here you can't put in a bottle
Beyond the smilin' faces and the sun that makes you tan
On the Gulf Coast of Texas, there's an island made for livin'
Here you'll find the door - To tropical heaven

The Gulf of Mexico - Such a tempting mistress
Now and then she devours the palms and the sand
It's a risk you take livin' close to heaven
The seawall holds back the tide till the devil comes again

There's something here you can't put in a bottle
Beyond the smilin' faces and the sun that makes you tan
Chili and gumbo - A little spicy island livin'
You're welcome here my friend - In tropical heaven

Tropical heaven (Come back again)
Tropical heaven (Mermaids in the sand)
Tropical heaven (Angels in the wind)
Tropical heaven.
