Well I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town, Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around. Moonshine, that´s where they make it, Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked.
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night And took it all the way to the end of the line. Stepped out in the sun, when my feet hit the sand What a long strange trip
I spent my whole life running around Still let the wind kinda blow me around Well I dropped a note in a bottle To a long-legged model And I traded it in for a whole ´nother world A pirate flag and an island girl
Well my friends back home think I´ve gone and lost my mind Take a sip of rum and you really would know why Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table Blender in the kitchen, willin´ and able Don´t know what makes you say "What the hell"
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail Something ´bout it makes her just wanna dance And she loves to dance
I spent my whole life running around Still let the wind kinda blow me around Well I dropped a note in a bottle To a long-legged model And I traded it in for a whole ´nother world A pirate flag and an island girl Pirate flag and an island girl
Well I remember back home ´neath the big ol´ moon Tucked back in the woods, yea life was good But here we are in a local bar and drinkin´ shooting stars
I might spend my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around Well I dropped a note in a bottle To a long-legged model And I traded it in for a whole ´nother world A pirate flag and an island girl A pirate flag and an island girl A pirate flag and an island girl A pirate flag and an island girl A pirate flag and an island girl
