Lyrics

I don't like those old city streets
I've got to have that island dirt beneath my feet
The island life and the island way
I've got to have it lord, everyday

The city life ain't no life for a tropical man
People and traffic seem to just fence me in
And I can't be free darling, staying here with you
I'm going to take my chances down the road
I'll see you soon,yes I'll see you soon.

People ask me why I'm gone so long
And why do I keep singing those old tropical songs
But I can't take that city life every day
So I pack my bags and get off and I'm on my way

The city life ain't no life for a tropical man
People and traffic seem to just fence me in
And I can't be free darling, staying here with you
I'm going to take my chances down the road
I'll see you soon,yes I'll see you soon.

I take things lightly and I don't stand still
I keep moving,stay happy,for me life's a thrill
And all my friends I dearly love to see
Because without them I could never be me.

The city life ain't no life for a tropical man
People and traffic seem to just fence me in
And I can't be free darling,staying here with you
I'm going to take my chances down the road
And I'll see you soon,yes I'll see you soon.
