Lyrics

LIVING ON ISLAND TIME
© Anthony Lynn Powers 2013


Verse 1
I work to make the money
to buy a little gas
and try and keep it together
till Friday here at last

Then I'll pack the pick up
put the beer on ice
hit the highway for the beach
without thinking twice

Chorus
Now I know I have things to do
but my chores won't get done
The only appointment I'm gonna keep
is the one I have with the sun
That honey do list will have to wait
cause in the sand there's a line
and when you walk across it
you're living on island time

Verse 2
at the beach there's no deadlines
with luck the work will get done
when in an hour turns into next week
we just blame it on the sun

There's one thing you learn
at the beach things move slow
the best answer to when
is always I don't know

Repeat Chorus
Bridge

Sunday night I have to go back
Monday works starts at Nine
Maybe I'll just call in well
and blame it on Island time

Repeat Chorus
End Verse

That honey do list will have to wait
I'm gonna be hard to find
this is where I want to be
just living on island time.
