Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been feeling like a piece of rice paper
Think I'll move to an island and turn into vapor
Get a scooter and a house on a hill
Fish all day just to fill up the grill
Spend my morning making chocolate milk and Eggos
My days at the beach, my nights stepping on Legos
Wave to the world, screaming, "Hasta luego"
Everybody back home will say, "Where the hell did he go?"
[Chorus]
Gonna hop in a boat and throw the paddle away
Offer my heart up to the break and the sway
Wake up every day in the sun
Kick off my flip-flops and go for a run
Gonna hop on my scooter and go down to the store
When people say, "Are you him?" I'll say, "Not anymore"
With the wind in my hair, I'm gonna scooter my blues away
[Verse 2]
I hear those islands calling my name
Since the first time I saw 'em, Lord, I ain't been the same
Maybe I'll end up in Chalong
Or over in Kata Not or up in Karon
Buy me a bar in Nakhon Si Thammarat
Learn how to kickbox so I don't get fat
And suck on some coconuts and play me some checkers
Lay on the beach till all my freckles connected
[Chorus]
Gonna hop in a boat and throw the paddle away
Offer my heart up to the break and the sway
Wake up every day in the sun
Kick off my flip-flops and go for a run
Gonna hop on my scooter and go down to the store
When people say, "Are you him?" I'll say, "Not anymore"
With the wind in my hair, I'm gonna scooter my blues away
[Outro]
Oh, I'm gonna hop in a boat and throw the paddle away
Offer my heart up to the break and the sway
Wake up every day in the sun
Kick off my flip-flops and go for a run
Gonna hop on my scooter and go down to the store
When people say, "Are you him?" I'll say, "Not anymore"
With the wind in my hair, I'm gonna scooter my blues away
With the wind in my hair, I'm gonna scooter my blues away
Oh, no
