Story Behind The Song
Got stuck behind a wreck on the overseas highway, and a trucker told me that he thought he'd just go back to Key West and get Keys Disease. I asked what that was and he said, "that's when you drink a couple of beers and drag your ass around." Ah...makes sense to me!

Lyrics
From Largo down to Key West Life is a Breeze, but be careful to avoid tropic maladies, if you drink a few beers and drag your ass around, you've got what the locals call Keys Disease..
Keys Disease, daiquiris or beer you just drink what you please, sit in the shade and have another round, you got no worries, you got Keys Disease.
Life is easy when the fishes bite, pullen'em in right up to night, then it's time to sit back feel the soft breeze give yourself over to the Keys Disease.
If the road to the main land gets shut down, just grab your buddies and have another round. There's nowhere to go and you can't get there fast, you'll just get stuck in line or maybe run out of gas.
