Lyrics
Eating out one day, I heard somebody say,
"Gee, things ain't like what they used to be"
I work three times as hard, car's rusting in the yard
And my house (our house) ain't worth half what it used to be
Things are changing all around, the market's up, the market's down
But hey we're living in paradise and it's cool, cool, cool, yeah
(chorus)
Oo-oo, Oo-oo, Oo-oo, I got the sun in my eyes
Oo-oo, Oo-oo, Oo-oo, dreaming on a clear blue sky
Oo-oo, Oo-oo, Oo-oo, got the sun in my eyes
Oo-oo, Oo-oo, living in paradise
Downtown to Kapolei, on the H-1 Freeway
I'm stuck (alone) in a sea of lonely drivers
There's so much fish in the sea, why then is there only me?
I wish (someone) would share this ride with me
Then I'd be in the carpool lane, cruising by with the radio playing
The sun is out and I'm just along for the ride, yeah
(I'm just along for the ride)
(chorus)
