Long Time No Sea
Hello my Old Friend yeah it's been to long since I gazed on your sparkling face
Felt the rise of your breathing chest rocking me gently in your embrace
So many storms that we weathered together it's good to be back in your lovely world
Smooth and calm rough and wild I get excited like a Birthday Child
Long Time No sea
Contributes to my negativity
Frequent visits are a remedy
reserving what's left of my sanity
I traveled down to the coast line of texas to sail and follow my dreams
But sometimes I'm so far away from the ocean I can't wait to get back again
Now don't get me wrong and don't be offended if you don't have beaches too
I'll come and sing in your back yard and bring the tropics to you
Well I grew up watching Lloyd bridges diving under the sea
And then I heard Buffett sing about sailing and that's all it took for me
Long Time No sea
Contributes to my negativity
Frequent visits are a remedy
reserving what's left of my sanity
Just a Wanna Be
He says I'm just a wanna be singing songs about tiki bars
Flowered shirts and flip flops down in Belize playing my guitar
Hey here's a new one that I just wrote it's got beaches margaritas and rum
He says i'm just a wanna be and he's right I wanna be either one
Who wouldn't want to be Buffett either Warren or the other
I'm not ashamed to say I'd love it although your not suppose to covet
Huge concerts and sold out crowds a portfolio to make you proud
Either one or the other who wouldn't wanna be Buffett
Wasting away down on one of his yachts he fly's his plane to surf the finest spots
The other's out back in Omaha his trained lizard will insure your car
Now I'm a cocktail of hopes and dreams blended up with my mom and dad's genes
I'm proud of the man I am I want to be all I can although
Who wouldn't want to be Buffett either Warren or the other
I'm not ashamed to say i'd love it although your not suppose to covet
They got money and they got fame everybody knows one of their names
Either one or the other who wouldn't want to be Buffett
Every time I hear them say he's just a wanna be I want to say
Who wouldn't want to be Buffett even just for a day
Either one or the other I'd be happy either way
Well they got money and they got fame everybody knows one of their names
Either one or the other who wouldn't want to be Buffett
Well they got money and they got fame everybody knows one of their names
Either one or the other who wouldn't want to be Buffett
Either one or the other who wouldn't want to be Buffett
King of the Island
Tonight I feel like King of the island
All my friends are gathered here with me
Dancing under star studded canopy's
Somewhere on a beach in Belize
I see Lights glowing from San Pedro
Nocturnal Palms swaying in the breeze
Mayan spirits cry out from the mangroves
Two Thousand twelve dosen't worry me
Cause tonight I'm the King of the Island
With my sixth string as I rule this patch of sand
Singing songs of my life back on the mainland
As I estimate my fortune full of friends
And I hold this island dear to my conscience
Responsible for any fame I've known
A thousand miles from Texas living island time with ease
Somewhere on a beach in Belize
By daylight I go diving incognito
Greeted by a school of horse eyed jack
Like Neptune I go gliding thru my kingdom
A parade along the reef welcomes me back
From shwanyo down to Mr Joe's I'v wondered
Watch sun rise from the shore of Athens Gate
Held port above the crocodile at Fito's
Where I first sang the songs that sealed my fate
And tonight I'm the king of the Island
As though native blood was flowing thru my veins
And I feel the distant tugging of my life line from before
That city world trapped me in those chains
And i'm in tuned with the rhythm of the ocean
As it rearranges castles in the tide
And I shutter when I think all of this I could have missed
If I ignored the voices and the signs
And I'm in tuned with the rhythm of the ocean
As it rearranges castles in the tide
A thousand miles from Texas living island time with ease
Somewhere on a beach in Belize
And Tonight I'm the king of the island
Friends
As the sun sets low behind the starboard rail
I see the line of our journey in the turbulence trail
Sewing seeds as we plow thru this ocean of time
they scatter to the wind and come back then as
Friends you'll always be
Part of my life part of my memory
Friends Yeah it was destiny
The future's about to begin
I'm talking bout friends
Now there are roads you can travel where the scenery is fine
Or you can race along with nothing but the one your behind
Take a look out the window and open your eyes
All that money in the bank well it an't worth a dime without
Friends you will always be
Part of my life part of my memory
Friends yeah we're family
The future's about to begin
I'm talking about Friends
It's not the destination it's the journey we call life
And once in a while when worlds collide
There's a spark in the dark and it lights up the night
Oh i'm talking bout
Friends you will always be
Part of my life part of my memory
Friends yeah we're family
The future is about to begin
I'm talking bout friends
Green on the Right
I'm growing tired of this aggravation
The freeway's jammed up so called civilization
Well I know something ain't right
I'm beginning to see the light
The future don't look much like it did on the Jetsons
So I hatched a plan I thinks right for me
To try to save what's left of my sanity
Headed out at first light
loading up the boat tonight
I got to get back to the way life's suppose to be
Green on the right red on the left
I'm going back to what I do best
Kiss all the girls tell all the rest
You can kiss my mast if you get my drift
Find a spot to anchor out by an island
When I wake up every morning I'll be smiling
Going to start out living the day
Watching dolphins and soaking up rays
Diving for my dinner from the sea
Green on the right red on the left
I'm going back to what I do best
Kiss all the girls tell all the rest
You can kiss my mast if you get my drift
Make yourself a plan before it's to late
Follow all your friends and make your great escape
Get on board get out of the grind
Look me up i'll be easy to find
All you got to do is remember this nautical rhyme
Green on the right red on the left
I'm going back to what I do best
Kiss all the girls tell all the rest
You can kiss my mast if you get my drift
Green on the right red on the left
I'm going back to what I do best
Kiss all the girls tell all the rest
You can Kiss my mast if you get my drift
I'm Not Over You
Every night at last call
When I feel like I gave it my all
There's one or maybe two
Who try to make me forget about you
They dance by seductively whisper they want me but all I can think of is you
I'm not over you
And I can't forget
Your touch was heaven to me
It's still here in my head
Ah the magic on your lips deceive me
You hypnotize me so well
I'm not over you I'm still under your spell
There were times that I tried
To keep from falling for all of your lines
My fears disappeared
As you kept the illusion alive
And the curtain came down on your marvelous show and you left me alone in the dark
I'm not over you
And I can't forget
Your touch was heaven to me
It's still here in my head
Ah the magic on your lips deceive me
You hypnotize me so well
I'm not over you I'm still under your spell
Through the smoke and the mirrors I saw a reflection of you
running scared from a love that left your heart broken and bruised
I'm not over you
And I can't forget
Your touch was heaven to me
It's still here in my head
Ah the magic on your lips deceive me
You hypnotize me so well
I'm not over you
No I'll never get over you
No I'm not over you I'm still under your spell
Rich Man
If I drilled a water well and it became an oil field
Black gold in my own back yard no telling what it could yield
You'd say it was the real deal well that's just how I feel
Cause I found you oh I found you
Well If I won the lottery would you say it was destiny?
A million bucks a year on a ticket that I got for free
You'd say I was a lucky man but hey I already am
Cause I found you oh I found you
Tell I found you I was sure there was no one for me in this whole wide world
But I prayed every night for you to come along
And now I thank my lucky stars but there's not much I can give you girl
So I poured out my heart and wrote down this song
If I had a dollar for every time
A thought of you crosses my mind
You 'd say I'd be a rich man but hey I already am
Cause I found you oh I found you
Tell I found you I was sure there was no one for me in this whole wide world
But I prayed every night for you to come along
And now I thank my lucky stars but there's not much I can give you girl
So I poured out my heart and wrote down this song
If I had a dollar for every time
A thought of you Crosses my mind
You'd say I was a rich man but hey I already am
Cause I found you oh I found you
If I had a dollar for every time
A thought of you crosses my mind
Yeah they'd say I'd be a rich man but hey I already am
Cause I found you oh I found you
You'd say I'd be a rich man but hey I already am
Cause I found you
Woman Behind the Wheel
It's a familiar side in the harbor
But it's always been puzzling to me
When there's a man at the helm and a Woman on the bow
Hauling up the anchor to leave
And though i've heard all the justifications
I still can't help how I feel
And I wonder how different the world would be
With a Woman behind the wheel
There'd be sisters and mothers teaching babies and brothers
Not to lie and why it's wrong to steal
And maybe truth and compassion could become a new trend
With a woman behind the wheel
It's rumored there once was an island
Ruled by women strong as steel
Peace and harmony rained supreme
But then maybe that wasn't real
And when I think of politics and religion
My contempt I can barely conceal
And I wonder what the state of the world would be
With a woman behind the wheel
There'd be sisters and mothers teaching babies and brothers
Not to lie and why it's wrong to steal
And maybe truth and compassion could become a new trend
With a woman behind the wheel
There'd be sisters and mothers teaching babies and brothers
Not to lie and why it's wrong to steal
And maybe truth and compassion could become a new trend
With a woman behind the wheel
Maybe truth and compassion could become a new trend
With a woman behind the wheel
Nautical Man
Well he's read all the magazines bought all the books plotted his chorse on the chart
He's dreaming of islands and sailing away he can't wait to follow his heart
It keeps crossing his mind in his everyday grind he can't keep his mind on his work
Well he's a memo away from just leaving today and telling his boss he's a jerk
And it's heave ho throw off the lines
He's had about all he can stand
Heave ho leaving it behind
With the dreams and the schemes of a nautical man
He's saving his money ridged out his boat and already called an old flame
He knows all the hurricane harbors he knows all the islands by name
But he's sitting in traffic just trying to get home and so far he's not even close
Well this could be the night that he unties those lines
Sales off and says adios
And it's heave ho throw off the lines
He's had about all he can stand
Heave ho leaving it behind
With the dreams and the schemes of a nautical man
Now he's having his coffee enjoying the view anchored in paradise caye
It's Breakfast ashore lobster for lunch diving the reefs all day
Now there's just no regretting the state that he's now in deciding to make his escape
Tell the IRS finds out and the bank realizes he's already ten payments late
And it's heave ho throw off the lines
He's had about all he can stand
Heave ho leaving it behind
with the dreams and the schemes of a nautical man
With the dreams and the schemes of a nautical man
Sleeping Like an Angel
Looking back at me the man I am and every line I've lived
Reflecting all the past the choices made and the things I couldn't give
Destiny walked in my life it took a little time
I traded all my freedom for a taste of heaven every night
Your sleeping like an angel laying next to me
Sunlight in the morning halo in your hair
Your waking with a hunger making love to me
An ordinary day in my perfect dream
Do you wonder why I look at you and never get my fill
Green was in your eyes the day we danced mostly standing still
You sang softly in my ear I know my heart could hear
I still treasure all those things but most of all I love you when
Your sleeping like an angel laying next to me
Sunlight in the morning halo in your hair
Your waking with a hunger making love to me
An ordinary day in my perfect dream
Your sleeping like an angel laying next to me
Sunlight in the morning halo in your hair
Your waking with a hunger making love to me
An ordinary day in my perfect dream
Your sleeping like an angel laying next to me
Halo in your hair your sent was every where
Daddys and Daughters
When she was born her daddy was surprised when they brought her out in pink instead of blue
The quarter back he planned on was a tiny baby girl but in the blinking of an eye she was the pride of his world
Winning games gave way to ballet and stage story time on his lap while she turned the page
Cause she's daddys little girl the apple of his eye
She'll always be his baby it will never change with time
And he'll still be there to calm those raging waters
Cause nothing quite compares to the love between daddy's and daughters
Ballet to basketball she scored big for the team he never ever missed a single game she played
Then the door bell brought a young man with a tuxedo on to take her to her first prom
And on her Birthday she found waiting outside a shiny red convertible that she couldn't wait to drive
Cause she's daddys little girl the apple of his eye
She'll always be his baby it'll never change with time
And he'll still be there to calm those raging waters
Cause nothing quite compares to the love between daddy's and daughters
Before he knew it he was walking down the isle and there was something wet trickling down his face
And with a trembling voice he answered her mother and I and then he let her go and slowly walked away
She's daddys little girl the apple of his eye
She'll always be his baby even though she's now a wife
And he'll still be there to calm those raging waters
Cause nothing quite compares to the love
Nothing even comes close to the love that they shared
Oh nothing quite compares to the love between daddys and daughters
