Cowboy Boots and Bathing Suits
By: Jerry Jeff Walker
G
We've been here a week or so
C
Now it's finally time to go
G D
Can't believe how quickly time has flown
G
Packin' up the bathin' suits
C
Getting' out the cowboy boots
G D G
That's a sign we must be going home
G
Time just stopped for a little while
C
We were part of a tiny island
G D
Made a lot of friends we'll keep for life
G
When we get back home to Texas
C
And they ask us what we missed most
G D G
I'll shrug my shoulders and I'll smile
Chorus:
C
Early mornings on the long boat dock
G
Drinkin' coffee as the sun comes up
Am D G
Lazy days napping in the big deck chair
C
Late night dancing in the front street bar
G
Walking home underneath the stars
Am D G
Man it's like some dream we live down here
C
Last night we ate conch and lobster,
G
Mark said it was his favorite dinner
Am D G
Maybe even the best one of his life,
C
Dining underneath the stars
G
Chilean wine and Cuban cigars,
AM D G
I smiled at him and said you could be right
C
And he got real quiet,
G
And he said you know,
Am D G
Hell I worked hard all my life
C
I made a lot of dough,
G
I've been everywhere
AM D G
I don't think it gets any better than down here
C
I mean the warmth and love of the people here,
G
no crime, no hate, or fear
G
I don't think I'm ready
AM D G
for the world waiting for me back there
I need me just...
Chorus:
C
One more morning on the long boat dock,
G
drinking coffee as the sun comes up
Am D G
Drinking Bilikin beer in the big deck chair,
C
late night dancin' in a front street bar
G
Makin' love under the stars,
Am D G
man it's like some dream we live down here
C
Walking home underneath the stars,
G
hearing voices from that empty bar
Am D G
Man it's like some dream we live done there
G
We've been here a week or so
C
Now it's finally time to go
G D
Can't believe how quickly time has flown
G
Packin' up the bathin' suits
C
Getting' out the cowboy boots
G D G
That's a sign we must be goin' home...
