Lyrics

PENSACOLA PARADISE
Words & Music: Darryl S. Brannen



V.1) I'M JUST AN AVERAGE JOE, WORKIN' SIXTY HOUR WEEKS
BACK TO BACK ON THIS FACTORY FLOOR
"ATTABOY ROY" IS MY BOSS'S WAY OF SAYIN'
THAT HE'S HAPPY, BUT HE'LL ALWAYS TAKE MORE.
I THINK IT'S TIME I TOOK A SMALL VACATION.
I'M A LITTLE OVERDUE FOR SOME RELAXATION.
SO, HEY PENSACOLA BEACH, I'M HEADIN' YOUR WAY----

C.) (AND I'LL HAVE) JIMMY BUFFET ON MY RADIO
MY TOES IN THE SAND AND I'M A-TAKIN IT SLOW.
NO ONE TO TELL ME WHEN TO COME AND GO, THIS TIME.
AND I'LL BE GETTIN' GOOD AT HAVIN' FUN IN THE SUN.
GET A COPPERTONE TAN AND A BOTTLE OF RUM.
LEAVE ALL MY WORRIES AND MY TROUBLES BEHIND,
WHERE IT'S NICE.....IN MY PENSACOLA PARADISE.

V.2) THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I ROLL INTO TOWN
IS HIT THE FLORA-BAMA WHERE I'LL BUY ' EM A ROUND.
EAT AT PAPA ROCCOS AND MAYBE TAKE A WALK ON THE BEACH.
I'M GONNA SPEND ALL DAY STARIN' UP IN THE SKY
WATCHIN' NAVY BLUE ANGELS AS THEY FLY BY
THEN AGAIN, WISHIN' I WAS FISHIN' ON THE THREE MILE BRIDGE.
TONIGHT I'M MISSIN' CHARACTER'S CAFE.
WE WOULD LISTEN TO THE SONGWRITERS AS THEY PLAY
THEIR ORIGINAL MUSIC WHILE SWAYING TO A TROPICAL BREEZE.

C.) (AND, I'VE GOT) JIMMY BUFFET ON MY RADIO
MY TOES IN THE SAND AND I'M A-TAKIN' IT SLOW
NO ONE TO TELL ME WHEN TO COME AND GO, THIS TIME IS SO FINE.
I'M GETTIN' GOOD AT HAVIN' FUN IN THE SUN.
GOT A COPPERTONE TAN AND A BOTTLE OF RUM.
LEFT ALL MY WORRIES AND MY TROUBLES BEHIND.
AND, IT'S NICE, IN MY PENSACOLA PARADISE.

C.) REPEAT, TAGS, END.
