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
