Rum
Just sitting in the shade with my bottle of rum
Sometimes sitting is the best kind of fun
My belly warm from the slow easy burn
And my mood follow suit mellowing in turn
My boat's got a hole but I think it can wait
My nets need mending but still work okay
My wife wants a new dress but money's tight
I'll tell her she's beautiful and make it alright
Cause right now I ain't got a care in the world
I'm just sitting, sipping and watching the eddies swirl
Tomorrow I'll fix the boat and fix up my nets
Catch some fish for the market and buy a new dress
But today is for shade and my bottle of rum
For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum
For warming my belly with that comforting burn
And setting troubles aside until tomorrow they return
My boat's got a hole but I think it can wait
My nets need mending but still work okay
My wife wants a new dress but money's tight
I'll tell her she's beautiful and make it alright
Cause right now I ain't got a care in the world
I'm just sitting, sipping and watching the eddies swirl
Tomorrow I'll fix the boat and fix up my nets
Catch some fish for the market and buy a new dress
But today is for shade and my bottle of rum
For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum
For warming my belly with that comforting burn
And setting troubles aside until tomorrow they return
Sometimes sitting is the best kind of fun
My belly warm from the slow easy burn
And my mood follow suit mellowing in turn
My boat's got a hole but I think it can wait
My nets need mending but still work okay
My wife wants a new dress but money's tight
I'll tell her she's beautiful and make it alright
Cause right now I ain't got a care in the world
I'm just sitting, sipping and watching the eddies swirl
Tomorrow I'll fix the boat and fix up my nets
Catch some fish for the market and buy a new dress
But today is for shade and my bottle of rum
For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum
For warming my belly with that comforting burn
And setting troubles aside until tomorrow they return
My boat's got a hole but I think it can wait
My nets need mending but still work okay
My wife wants a new dress but money's tight
I'll tell her she's beautiful and make it alright
Cause right now I ain't got a care in the world
I'm just sitting, sipping and watching the eddies swirl
Tomorrow I'll fix the boat and fix up my nets
Catch some fish for the market and buy a new dress
But today is for shade and my bottle of rum
For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum
For warming my belly with that comforting burn
And setting troubles aside until tomorrow they return
