Lyrics
Ever since on earth I showed up
I?ve been a little boy that wouldn?t grow up
I started out dreaming and that?s the way I would stay
My teachers said I had my head in the clouds,
Talking too much and laughing out loud
And it drove my parents absolutely insane
I want to?
Be what I want to be who I am
See what I want to see what I can
Do what I can w/ my two bare feet on the ground
Go where I want to go where I?m free
Living the way life comes easy to me
And if I die there, then there they?ll lay my body down
It wasn?t that I did not understand
I just never did want the things they had planned
Something out there was something out there for me
So I never did whatever I should
And when I left I left when I could
Heading down south ?till the highway ran out of road
Chorus
I blame it most of all on that Jacques Cousteau
Sharing a world I wanted to know
Me and the Calypso island bound
Where I wound up is where I stayed
Where the rum drinks flow and the music gets played
And that world keeps going round and round and round
Chorus
