Just sittin' in the shade with my bottle of rum
Sometimes sittin' is the best kind of fun
My belly warm from the slow easy burn
And my mood follows suit, mellowin' in turn
My boat's got a hold but I think it can wait
My nets need mendin' but still work okay
My wife wants a new dress but money's tight
I'll tell her she's beautiful and make it all right
Cause right now I ain't got a care in the world
I'm just sittin' and sippin' and watchin' the eddies swirl
Tomorrow I'll fix the boat and fix up my nets
Catch some fish for the market and buy a new dress
But today's for shade and my bottle of rum
For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum
For warmin' my belly with that comforting burn
And settin' troubles aside until tomorrow they return
But today's for shade and my bottle of rum
For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum
For warmin' my belly with that comforting burn
And settin' troubles aside until tomorrow they return
My boat's got a hold but I think it can wait
My nets need mendin' but still work okay
My wife wants a new dress but money's tight
I'll tell her she's beautiful and make it all right
But today's for shade and my bottle of rum
For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum
But today's for shade and my bottle of rum,
For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum
For warmin' my belly with that comforting burn
And settin' troubles aside until tomorrow they return
