Sitting on the dock down in Mobile
Watching the tide roll in
Shrimp boats come beneath the setting sun
God, I wonder where all they’ve been
Spent 10 years in a factory
Now, I ain’t shaved in days
Been thinking a lot about the life I’ve got
Well, I might just change my ways.
(Chorus)
As this ole world gets colder with every passing day
I’m saving up my money, yeah I’m finally gonna sail away
Cruise off to some island and get some sand between my toes
I’ll be doing just fine on Key West time
Going anyway the wind blows.
Throw my cell phone in the ocean
‘Cause I don’t need this stress no more
Spend my days in the sun with a bottle of rum
Just staring out across the shore
Find me a gypsy woman
One that don’t mind being free
We’ll travel around those ole Gulf towns
Just living out on the sea.
(Repeat Chorus)
I’ll have friends from the Gulf on up around Caroline
Nothing but bright blue skies and warm sunshine.
(Repeat Chorus)
Well, I’ll be doing just fine on Key West time
Going anyway the wind blows.
