Lyrics

ROCK STEADY AND RUM

Baby, let?s take a permanent vacation by the shore
Throw away my suit and tie ? quit your job in Baltimore
I wanna get down to the basics just like an old beach bum
With the three things that I truly need ? your love, rocksteady, and rum

Your love, rocksteady and rum
Just look what I?ve become
A simple man with a foolproof plan
Your love, rocksteady and rum

One part reggae ?riddim? to satisfy my soul
Two tall stalks of sugarcane boiled down to liquid gold
Mix that island flavor with your kisses sweet
And I?ve got the three ingredients that make the recipe complete

CHORUS

SOLO

We?ll be livin? like a postcard of a picture perfect scene
You and me forever here ? a middle manager?s dream
But there?ll be no hard feelings if you say our time is up
Hell, I?ll still have the Wailers and the Captain in my cup

Just me, rocksteady and rum
Now look what I?ve become
A single man with a simpler plan
Just me, rocksteady and rum
