When I pay my bills
|
Gonna leave these Tennessee hills
|
Take my lady to the sea
|
That's where we both come from
|
That's where we both belong
|
Think I'll go back to the Keys.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
'Cause I don't want the thing that brings confusion
|
Where people recognize you on a plane
|
All I want's the quiet and the comforts
|
That livin' with my lovely lady brings.
|
|
Somehow we survived the double talk and jive
|
Things are looking better all the time
|
I owe her all I can 'cause she made me understand
|
The simple way that we should live our lives.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Let me tell you now she can eat her own weight up in crab meat
|
And there's plenty of that down there by the sea
|
Well, we're sailing in those warm December breezes
|
Sendin' picture post cards back to Tennessee.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
