Lyrics
"Conch Republic Dream"
(Tim Patterson)
Strollin down ole A1A I got my six string in my hand
Thinking about old Jimmy Buffett and workin on my suntan
Listening to a song about paradise and drinkin lots of rum in the shade
The people on the Island just don't give a damn cause they know they've got it made
(Chorus)
And I've been cheering for sunsets and I've been playing for tourists by the sea
And I've been strumming my six string Cruisin through my Conch Republic Dream
Stumble in to a sea side tavern, my favorite tiki bar
She pours my draught, I make her laugh and she offers me a ride in her car
I asked her for her thoughts about paradise and if her place was where that I might stay
The people on the Island just don't give a damn cause they know they've got it made
(Chorus)
And I've been cheering for sunsets and I've been playing for tourists by the sea
And I've been strumming my six string Sailin through my Conch Republic Dream
(Bridge)
Looking back its kinda hazy, lots of time's gone by since then
Seems the whole dang world's gone crazy, wish I was back at Sloppy Joe's again
(Chorus-Outro)
