Bar room ways

Margaritaville days

Floatin’ away on the sea

They all coexist down here in the keys

A troubadour he took note

Sang about em to other folk

Soon another lifestyle came to be

While wasted away he brought fame

Through cheeseburger in paradise

Blew out a flip flop while looking about

For a lost shaker of salt

His changes in attitude

Here in this latitude

Began to reign

Bar room ways

Margaritaville days

Floatin’ away on the sea

A pirate born just a bit too late

Though still bounding towards an infamous fate

He swam through all the sharks

With fins to the left and fins to the right

And made it to the side

Where he could bring his dreams to life

Dove real deep and now he surfaced with the light

And I know at least once in his life

He got this advice

Take it light, do it right, enjoy . . . yeah

Take it light, do it right, and enjoy . . .

Bar room ways

Margaritaville days

Floatin’ away on out on the sea
