Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stuck here at a Holiday Inn near Austin Texas
Seen all the road that I wanna see
God I hate the snow
They even canceled the show
Makes me long for where I really wanna be
[Verse 2]
Oh I wish I was there tonight
On Jost Van Dyke
Sipping on some Foxy's Firewater Rum
Or kickin' back with Ivan
With all my friends down in the islands
It wouldn't take much for me to up and run
To another life somewhere in the sun
[Verse 3]
Got cold fajitas and only one channel on the TV
Andy and Barney on Nick at Nite
Seen an ad for Mexico
God I really wanna go
Anywhere out of mind and outta sight
[Verse 4]
Oh I wish I was there tonight
On Jost Van Dyke
Sipping on some Foxy's Firewater Rum
Or kickin' back with Ivan
With all my friends down in the islands
It wouldn't take much for me to up and run
To another life somewhere in the sun
[Verse 5]
Here's a toast to you on the coast and the sailors out at sea
Drink your ales hoist your sails
Ride the winds and think of me
[Verse 6]
Cause I wish I was there tonight
On Jost Van Dyke
Sipping on some Foxy's Firewater Rum
Or kickin' back with Ivan
With all my friends down in the islands
It wouldn't take much for me to up and run
To another life somewhere in the sun
[Verse 7]
Somewhere in the sun
