Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I guess that I was born
With that nomad gene
There's very little of this planet
That I have not seen
[Verse 2]
Everybody's on a soapbox
Influencers and phones
TikTok tommyrot 'round the clock
But I'm still thinkin' Rolling Stones
[PreChorus]
So, where'm I gonna go
When the volcanos blow?
Everybody's askin'
All the time
Contemplatin' Malpeque Bay
Or a beach bar near Sagres
I'm sure I'll find a way
'Til then, I'll be in the conga line
[Chorus]
A pub in Portugal or PEI
Layin' low, stayin' high
I've got my good friends close
And trouble far away
Music on a beach
Called "Singin' Sands"
No big deal, no master plan
We'll be alright come Monday
[Verse 3]
I'll hopscotch 'cross the ocean
On friendly archipelagos
Where women sing to Gaia
And the marijuana grows
[Verse 4]
I'm thinkin' Garden of the Gulf
Where the Portuguese fished long ago
Speak a little Mi' Kmaq when I can
And in Cavendish
Do the do-si-do
[PreChorus]
Where'm I gonna go
When the volcanos blow?
Everybody's askin'
All the time
Contemplatin' Malpeque Bay
Or a beach bar near Sagres
I'm sure I'll find a way
'Til then I'll be in the conga line
[Chorus]
A pub in Portugal or PEI
Layin' low, stayin' high
I've got my good friends close
And trouble far away
Music on a beach
Called "Singin' Sands"
No big deal, no master plan
We'll be alright come Monday
[Verse 5]
Everybody's on a soapbox
And there's way too many phones
Everybody's playin' TikTok tommyrot
And I still love The Rolling Stones
But life is always better
When you add a little island
A lot of oysters, love and wine
Maybe a pub on PEI
With somebody singin' in Portuguese
On the sandbar, feel the ocean breeze
Right now, that sounds real good to me
I really like those possibilities
[Outro]
'Til then, I'll be in the conga line
Where'm I gonna go?
'Til then, I'll be in the conga line
Where'm I gonna go?
'Til then, I'll be in the conga line
Where'm I gonna go?
'Til then, I'll be in the conga line
Where'm I gonna go?
Where'm I gonna go?
