Jamaica Time
They say it's either 9 to 5, or 10 to life
But I found an alternative, to set you right
They say you gotta fight to survive
And kill to succeed
But I'll show you another way
Just what you need
I lift mine eyes unto the mountains
From whence comes my strength
See my troubles roll out with the tide
And leave me content
I didn't come down here for schedules
Traffic jams or waitin' in line
I came to escape all that madness
I'm on Jamaica Time!
You can keep your high-powered meetings
Busy watchin' your blood pressure climb
I'll be drawing Red stripes on palm trees
I'm on Jamaica
Ahh I'm on Jamaica, ahh I'm on Jamaica Time!
They say that you must keep the pace
Or you'll be left behind
But no one ever wins that race
They're just slowly dyin'
So, if you find your worryin'
What lies in store
I'll take you to that magic place
Show you the cure
Driftin' down the river of time
To the fountain of youth
Escaping to another world
To discover the truth
I didn't come down here for schedules
No problem gonna leave em' behind
Don't rush me
Soon come tomorrow
I'm on Jamaica Time
You can keep your high-powered meetings
Busy watchin' your blood pressure climb
I'll be drawing Red stripes on palm trees
I'm on Jamaica
Ahh I'm on Jamaica, ahh I'm on Jamaica Time
Shuttin' off the rest of the world
Will get it out of our system
Forgetting' all the trials that hurt
Will help us go the distance
Go the distance, go the distance
I didn't come down here for schedules
Traffic jams or waiting in line
I came to escape all that madness
I'm on Jamaica Time!
You can keep your high-powered meetings
Busy watchin' your blood pressure climb
I'll be drawing Red stripes on palm trees
I'm on Jamaica
Ahh I'm on Jamaica, ahh I'm on Jamaica Time!
I didn't come down here for schedules
No problem gonna leave em' behind
Don't rush me, soon come tomorrow
I'm on Jamaica
Ahh I'm on Jamaica, ahh I'm on Jamaica Time!
Ayyy yayyy yayyy, I'm I'm on Jamaica Time
Ayy yayyy yayyy, I'm I'm on Jamaica Time
But I found an alternative, to set you right
They say you gotta fight to survive
And kill to succeed
But I'll show you another way
Just what you need
I lift mine eyes unto the mountains
From whence comes my strength
See my troubles roll out with the tide
And leave me content
I didn't come down here for schedules
Traffic jams or waitin' in line
I came to escape all that madness
I'm on Jamaica Time!
You can keep your high-powered meetings
Busy watchin' your blood pressure climb

Ahh I'm on Jamaica, ahh I'm on Jamaica Time!
