Lyrics

I want to go back, to the islands Where the shrimp boats are tied up to the piling Give me oysters and beer For dinner every day of the year And I'll feel fine, I'll feel fine 'Cause I want to be there Go back down and lie beside the sea there With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine I'll be chewin' on a honeysuckle vine Where the sun goes gliding across the water Sail boats, they're searching for the breeze Salt air ain't thin, it'll stick right to your skin And make you feel fine, makes you feel fine And I wanna be there I wanna go back down and get high by the sea there With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine I'll be chewin' on a honeysuckle vine Now, you've heard my strange proposal So let's get that Packard running Let's move, come on Jerry Jeff, let's go I wanna be there before the day Tries to steal away and leave us behind I made up my mind and I wanna be there I wanna go back down and die beside the sea there With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine I'll be chewin' on a honeysuckle vine Yeah, with a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine I'll be chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
