Lyrics

Key West

Went to the mountain when the river ran dry
You know I ain?t the kind to give up
so I keep on trying. It?s raining outside
and the beating on the roof of the shed
sounds just like Key West.
Cigar houses, seven-toed cats,
wanna take you down south where I used to hang my hat
let?s go ? there?s this place I know

I lie in the valleys when the mountain?s too rough
like an old ship captain when the ocean acts up.
Cars outside swish by, the white cat in the window
disguised as a Japanese symbol ? big eyes ?
and the street just sighs

I can take you anywhere, downtown, uptown,
over the hills and until the outcome.
I can take you everywhere, road bag, toad kill,
lake in the middle of a pontoon still life
And I wanna take my daddy everywhere I can
come and take your daddy, too,
and we?ll go out dancing ? dancing

Back to the mountain when the valley?s too low,
the view is so much better of the life down below
You can see all the way ?round the mountain
and then back again,
to the place you begin.
Sometimes I wanna stop when it gets too hard
there?s an angel lifeguard in my own back yard
in my own back yard

I can take you anywhere, downtown, uptown,
over the hills and until the outcome.
I can take you everywhere, road bag, toad kill,
lake in the middle of a pontoon still life
And I wanna take my daddy everywhere I can
come and take your daddy, too,
and we?ll go out dancing ? dancing

Went to the mountain when the river ran dry
You know I ain?t the kind to give up
so I keep on trying. It?s raining outside
and the beating on the roof of the shed
sounds just like Key West
sounds just like Key West
sounds just like Key West
just like Key West
