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#

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 . . .#

Margaritaville days#

Floatin’ away on out on the sea#
