New Latitude

I need a real good day real bad
My job's making me really mad
I'm working all the time and way too hard
Putting a "for sale" sign in my front yard

'Cause I need a new latitude
I need a new latitude
Too much work and not enough play
I'll go insane if I don't go away
I need a new latitude

My mind is one giant muddled mess
So I called my psychiatrist
My shrink thinks I'm O.D.D
And there's just one cure for ocean deficit disease... she said

You need a new latitude, you need a new... latitude
You better heed to the doctor's orders
You need to move somewhere south of the border
'Cause you need a new latitude

I sought a remedy for my crazed condition
I bought a shanty the sea with a pier for fishing
Now I'm chilling in my hammock as the palm trees sway
Grilling a mackerel I caught today

One day I'll be old and gray
They'll bury me here in the sand someday
There'll be no worry, no work, no hurry, no more
When I wake up on the heavenly shore

Oh what a new latitude
Oh what a new latitude
So won't you follow me my friend to a paradise that has no end
'Cause we all need a new latitude, we all need a new latitude
So won't you join me my friend to a paradise that has no end
We all need a new latitude
We all need a new latitude
