Story Behind The Song
PLAYED A GIG AT A CONDO WHERE ALL THE WALLS AND CEILING AND FURNISHINGS WERE HARD SURFACES UNFRIENDLY TO ACOUSTICS OR PLAYING MUSIC. FINALLY PLAYED THE GIG ACOUSTICLY WITH MY STEEL DRUMMER AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND IT WAS PERFECT. WE WERE JUST WALL CANDY ANYWAY.

Lyrics
I DROVE INTO A NEW TOWN - I WAS THIRSTY FOR A DRINK
PARKED THE CAR - WALKED INTO THIS BAR
AND BOY DID MY HEART SINK
THERE WAS SHINY CHROME & MIRRORS - 8$ SHOTS & MARBLE FLOORS
WHEN THEY HANDED ME RUM IN A PLASTIC CUP
I COULDN'T TAKE ANY MORE
I SAID
GIMME MORE PALM TREES
THE KINDS THAT SWAY IN THE BREEZE
GIMME MORE PALM TREES
LIKE THE KIND THEY HAVE IN THE KEYS
I CANT RELAX AT A PLACE - WHERE NOTHIN IS NATURAL OR FREE
GIMME MORE PALM TREES - & PASS THE CERVEZA PLEASE
INTRO
THE BARTENDER LOOKED DOWN HIS NOSE AT ME
AS IF HE WAS GONNA SNEEZE
THE CONVERSATION SWITCHED FROM RUM - & WENT TO SOCRATES
THEY STARTED TALKIN BOUT MONEY - & ALL THOSE NASTY FEES
WHEN HE ASKED IF HE COULD HELP ME WITH ANYTHING ELSE
I SCREAMED BARTENDER PLEASE
CHORUS
CHORUS
& ITS PLAIN TO SEE YOUR CHAMPAGNE LIFE DON'T MIX WITH MY BEER
GIMME MORE PALM TREES - & GET ME OUT OF HERE......
