Island Girl

When I woke up in the morning
I thought I would surely die
Shots of whiskey, pints of porter
Cigarettes and moon shine
Now I just don't remember how
All the conversations went
But I told them that I loved you
And I could not give up yet

I'm just keeping myself busy
Strumming chords and mumbling l
And I'll always fight the good fight
Even if I'll never win
I think you're right
Now im just stubborn
With this rock I call my head
And I'm sorry for your troubles
What a good sport you have been

Now I see it like a light bulb
I did not know that I was blind
And you looked just like an angel
Your dark hair against the sand
My island girl with wavy curls
Sunkissed cheeks and perfect tan
I'd give my voice now
Just to kiss you
Taste the salt upon your skin

Funny how when leaves are Changing
We find beauty in their death
And how this break up made me Wake up
And become what I have been
Your number one fan, honey I'm Your man
And I know this to be true
Nothing's better than the thought of Waking up right next to you
For all my life

Well i wrote this in a garage
While i was waiting for my car
And when its finished, im a headin'
To where ever it is you are
And i just know, you'll be there Smiling with a flower in your hair
Saying baby what took you so long
Set your bags down, sit right here
