Rodney J. Crowell (born August 7, 1950) is a American country music singer/songwriter who is considered to be part of both the alternative country and the mainstream country music camps. For three years he was part of Emmylou Harris' "Hot Band"; later he gained mainstream popularity as a solo performer with a series of critcally-claimed albums released during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Crowell was born in Houston, Texas to James Walter Crowell and Addie Cauzette Willoughby.

DG I beg your pardon momma what did you say AD My mind was drifting on a Martinque day G It's not that I'm not interested you see AD Augusta Georgia is just no place to be G I think Jamaica in the moonlight AD Sandy beaches drinking rum every night DG We've got no money momma but we can go AD We'll split the difference and go to Coconut grove DG Just keep on talking momma I can hear AD Your voice it tickles down inside of my ear DG I feel a tropical vacation this year AD Might be the answer to this Hillbilly beer G I think Jamaica in the moonlight AD Sandy beaches drinking rum every night DG We've got no money momma but we can go AD We'll split the difference and go to Coconut grove DG Viola an American dream AD We can travel girl without any means DG When it's as easy as closing your eyes AD And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign
SOLO
DG Just keep on talking momma I like the sound AD It goes so good with that rain poring down DG I feel a tropical vacation this year AD Might be the answer to this Hillbilly beer G I think Jamaica in the moonlight AD Sandy beaches drinking rum every night DG We've got no money momma but we can go AD We'll split the difference and go to Coconut grove DG Viola an American dream AD We can travel girl without any means DG When it's as easy as closing your eyes AD And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign
