On a patch of sand where the warm wind blows
Not a tv set, not a radio
Just an old guitar when the sun sinks low
Down at the lah de dah
When the stars come out, it's the place to be
If you're all alone needing company
It's a lovers' bar where the fun is free
Down at the lah de dah
Down at the lah de dah
There's a perfect margarita in a mason jar
At the end of the world in a sea of dreams
Where the ocean smiles and the seagulls scream
We all know just how lucky we are
Down at the lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah
Lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah
Lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah
Down at the lah de dah
When you're back at work at your 9 to 5
And it's pourin' rain on your mornin' drive
You'll remember when you were last alive
Down at the lah de dah
Down at the lah de dah
There's a perfect margarita in a mason jar
At the end of the world in a sea of dreams
Where the ocean smiles and the seagulls scream
We all know just how lucky we are
Down at the lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah

When the band strikes up and the sun is down
The pirate king buys another round
And the rumors fly mermaids are in town
Down at the lah de dah
Down at the lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah
Lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah
Lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, lah

Who Gets to Live Like This
There are waves outside my window
There are airplanes in the sky
There are ships on the horizon
And a beach always nearby
Fish tacos on the table, no surfer can resist
How did I get this lucky?
Tell me who gets to live like this
I left my inhibitions receding with the tide
Talking with the turtles lying side by side
Seeking wiser counsel on a
Girl I can't resist pass the seaweed salad
Tell me who gets to live like this
Singing for money, playin' for fun
How did I wind up in this band on the run?
Wake it up, make it up, shake it up
Take it up there's more ways than one
Jack of all trades, master of none
With fortune or without it
For paydays or for free
More latitudes than attitudes
More everyone and less me
Just knowing what is possible
Is the ring you don't want to miss
I'm happy to inform you
That we get to live like this
That we all get to live this live like this
Hmm, get to live like this
Get to live like this get to live like this
Get to live like this get to live like this
There are airplanes in the sky
There are ships on the horizon
And a beach always nearby
Fish tacos on the table, no surfer can resist
How did I get this lucky?
Tell me who gets to live like this
I left my inhibitions receding with the tide
Talking with the turtles lying side by side
Seeking wiser counsel on a
Girl I can't resist pass the seaweed salad
Tell me who gets to live like this
Singing for money, playin' for fun
How did I wind up in this band on the run?
Wake it up, make it up, shake it up
Take it up there's more ways than one
Jack of all trades, master of none
With fortune or without it
For paydays or for free
More latitudes than attitudes
More everyone and less me
Just knowing what is possible
Is the ring you don't want to miss
I'm happy to inform you
That we get to live like this
That we all get to live this live like this
Hmm, get to live like this
Get to live like this get to live like this
Get to live like this get to live like this

The Devil I Know
Three in the morning came without a warning
Wound up with some old buccaneers
Tellin' lies about the time I won the Nobel Prize
Guess who bought all the beers
Well, you'd think I'd have tamed my old dragons by now
I've always tried to be a good scout
But every now and then they come swoopin' in
Saying, "Bubba, it's time to go out"
Now it's fun to wake up in a strange chateau
After racing 'round Paris in a Deux Chevaux
My wingman's crashing but I'm not flying solo
'Cause he traded places with the devil I know
Devil I know, devil I know
Well, life can be confusing but things need excusin'
To separate the turns from the twists
If I had a Richter scale for spouting forked tales
We'd all be high on that shit list
Well, the hitch to living hard is when you drop your guard
And wind up in a headline or a cell
Then compromise, or, worse, apologize
Welcome to the world of sinkin' spells
Messing with my mind was fun at the time
Tossing to and fro in a tricky undertow
Deviants and derelicts, lurking high and low
Ridin' shotgun with the devil I know
Devil I know, devil I know
Let's go ridin', devil
There were times, there were places
We played near and far
From the old Anchor Inn to the Suez Canal bar
From the Kraken to Manhattan
Le Select to Old Saigon
Mojitos in Havana
Timbuktu 'til dawn
Three in the mornin', feral cats are yawnin'
Full moon sinking in the bay
Spoonbills in flight, oh, what a sight
As I sip on my café au lait
Well, the birds got me thinkin' 'bout going day drinkin'
A hall pass to be the old me
Don't need hops and barley to throw a little party
Señorita, una mas iced tea
Hell, it's fun to go fishing on a new slack tide
Wake up living life on the flip side
Them dragons ain't gone, but they're fading like an old tattoo
Lots of mystery in the history of the devils I knew
Devils I knew, devils I knew
Wound up with some old buccaneers
Tellin' lies about the time I won the Nobel Prize
Guess who bought all the beers
Well, you'd think I'd have tamed my old dragons by now
I've always tried to be a good scout
But every now and then they come swoopin' in
Saying, "Bubba, it's time to go out"

The Slow Lane
On a patch of sand where the warm wind blows
Not a TV set, not a radio
Just an old guitar when the sun sinks low
Down at the Lah De Dah
When the stars come out, it's the place to be
If you're all alone, needing company
It's a lovers' bar where the fun is free
Down at the Lah De Dah

Oceans of Time
Come every day, it's sink or swim
Take it to heart or on a whim
Are we the loser or the hero? (Or the hero?)
It's a dice throw (It's a dice throw)
So what if we lose our focus?
Nobody's gonna notice
Oceans of time will wash on by
Ebbing, flowing through our lives
Why should we hurry the tide? You and I
Only have oceans of time
Sunrise to sunrise, it's a game
24 hours doesn't change
No point to beg, steal or borrow
From tomorrow (From tomorrow)
Whatever we need, we have it
Let's not get stuck in traffic
Oceans of time will wash on by
Ebbing, flowing through our lives
Why should we hurry the tide? You and I
Only have oceans of time
Oceans of time will wash on by
Ebbing, flowing through our lives
Why should we hurry the tide? You and I
Only have oceans of time
Only have oceans of time
Take it to heart or on a whim
Are we the loser or the hero? (Or the hero?)
It's a dice throw (It's a dice throw)
So what if we lose our focus?
Nobody's gonna notice
Oceans of time will wash on by
Ebbing, flowing through our lives
Why should we hurry the tide? You and I
Only have oceans of time
Sunrise to sunrise, it's a game
24 hours doesn't change
No point to beg, steal or borrow
From tomorrow (From tomorrow)
Whatever we need, we have it
Let's not get stuck in traffic
Oceans of time will wash on by
Ebbing, flowing through our lives
Why should we hurry the tide? You and I
Only have oceans of time
Oceans of time will wash on by
Ebbing, flowing through our lives
Why should we hurry the tide? You and I
Only have oceans of time
Only have oceans of time

The world is what you make it
I knew this African they call Hannibal
Rock it, roll it, send it down the avenue
Went out to see the Roman Empire fall
Two thousand elephants in gold chain-mail
Take it, shake it, make it what you wanna be
Them Roman legionnaires they hit the trail
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
When Cleopatra ruled in Egypt's land
Jump down, turn around, look at what the monkey did
She went to find herself a mighty man
In comes Antonio from Italy
Haul it, ball it, drag it up the pyramid
He never knew how hot a girl could be
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
Don't start to hit me with your "no can do"
Bluesin', losin', workin' up an attitude
Clean up them windows, let the sun shine through
There ain't no happy time without no pain
Heartbreak, new date, move on up the alleyway
Pick up the pieces, hit the road again
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
Rock it, roll it, send it down the avenue
Went out to see the Roman Empire fall

Half Drunk
I'm only half drunk
If you were thinkin' of pourin' more wine
It's only midnight
And I got nothin', nothin' but time
Is it half empty or half full
This glass of mine? I'm only half wrong
If you were thinkin' 'bout stayin' this time
It's only midnight
And I got nothin', nothin' but time
It may be half baked
But I've got lots, lots of ideas
Hey darlin', here's one
Won't you come and lend me your ear?
Like Mona Lisa gave old Da
Vinci that half smile
I'll paint a picture that will
Half convince you I'm fine
It's only midnight
And I've got nothin', nothin' but time
I got half a mind to tell you 'bout it
Brother it's always six of one
And half a dozen of the other
This or that, tit for tat
My baby's on the line
I'm always only half the way
To makin' her all mine
I'm only half drunk
If you'll be buyin' one more round
I've been half crazy
Tryin' to simmer, simmer on down
You see half the people
But only half of half of the time tell me
How can a nickel stand right up to a dime?
I'm only half drunk this night is half gone
And I'll be long gone before too long
It's only midnight
And I've got nothin', nothin' but time
I'm only half drunk
If you were thinkin' of pourin' more wine
If you were thinkin' of pourin' more wine
It's only midnight
And I got nothin', nothin' but time
Is it half empty or half full
This glass of mine? I'm only half wrong
If you were thinkin' 'bout stayin' this time

Slack Tide
I've got a fish on the line
But there won't be a feast
We've got too much in common
And he shall be released
I've seen day turn to night
And watched the changin' of seasons
Things don't just happen
They happen for a reason
Maybe we'll meet in Exuma
Or down in the Keys
If I catch the right current
Or capture a breeze out here conflicts and
Chaos completely subside
Sailin' back to where I came from
Back to slack tide
Well, I think it's time to
Put some snorkels on
Turn your feet into flippers
Have some primal fun
Dance with a stranger in a Mardi Gras parade
Find an empty hammock
Take a nap in the shade
You can't hold back the moon
Can't stop the ebb and flow
The water still comes and
The water still goes
It turns mountains to sand
Gave ol' Noah his big ride
Then he dropped off his passengers
Down at slack tide
I can't control anybody other than myself
Leave those half empty thoughts
High up on the shelf
If you cut me some slack
I'll return the favor
Open that bottle of fine rum
That together, we will savor
Well, we could use some quiet
We could use a little calm
Find the good in everybody
Share that "one love" balm
Watch the predators and prey
Swim along side by side
'Neath the blue sky and mangroves
Down at slack tide
I wish the whole wide world could swim along
At slack tide
Swim along, swim along, swim along
Swim along at slack tide
Swim along, swim along, swim along
Swim along
But there won't be a feast
We've got too much in common
And he shall be released
I've seen day turn to night
And watched the changin' of seasons
Things don't just happen
They happen for a reason
Maybe we'll meet in Exuma
Or down in the Keys
If I catch the right current
Or capture a breeze out here conflicts and
Chaos completely subside
Sailin' back to where I came from
Back to slack tide
Well, I think it's time to
Put some snorkels on
Turn your feet into flippers
Have some primal fun
Dance with a stranger in a Mardi Gras parade
Find an empty hammock
Take a nap in the shade
You can't hold back the moon
Can't stop the ebb and flow
The water still comes and
The water still goes
It turns mountains to sand
Gave ol' Noah his big ride
Then he dropped off his passengers
Down at slack tide
I can't control anybody other than myself
Leave those half empty thoughts
High up on the shelf
If you cut me some slack
I'll return the favor
Open that bottle of fine rum
That together, we will savor
Well, we could use some quiet
We could use a little calm
Find the good in everybody
Share that "one love" balm
Watch the predators and prey
Swim along side by side
'Neath the blue sky and mangroves
Down at slack tide
I wish the whole wide world could swim along
At slack tide
Swim along, swim along, swim along
Swim along at slack tide
Swim along, swim along, swim along
Swim along

Live Like Its Your Last Day
I knew this African they call Hannibal
Rock it, roll it, send it down the avenue
Went out to see the Roman Empire fall
Two thousand elephants in gold chain-mail
Take it, shake it, make it what you wanna be
Them Roman legionnaires they hit the trail
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
When Cleopatra ruled in Egypt's land
Jump down, turn around, look at what the monkey did
She went to find herself a mighty man
In comes Antonio from Italy
Haul it, ball it, drag it up the pyramid
He never knew how hot a girl could be
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
Don't start to hit me with your "no can do"
Bluesin', losin', workin' up an attitude
Clean up them windows, let the sun shine through
There ain't no happy time without no pain
Heartbreak, new date, move on up the alleyway
Pick up the pieces, hit the road again
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
Rock it, roll it, send it down the avenue
Went out to see the Roman Empire fall
Two thousand elephants in gold chain-mail
Take it, shake it, make it what you wanna be
Them Roman legionnaires they hit the trail
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
When Cleopatra ruled in Egypt's land
Jump down, turn around, look at what the monkey did
She went to find herself a mighty man
In comes Antonio from Italy
Haul it, ball it, drag it up the pyramid
He never knew how hot a girl could be
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
Don't start to hit me with your "no can do"
Bluesin', losin', workin' up an attitude
Clean up them windows, let the sun shine through
There ain't no happy time without no pain
Heartbreak, new date, move on up the alleyway
Pick up the pieces, hit the road again
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it

Book On The Shelf
Well, I hope you have fun
Splashin' in the slack tide
Unchaperoned over on the flip side
I write what I know about, made up or true
These songs aren't for me, they're for you
Memories like meteors fly through my head
The sand was pearl white
Her bikini bright red
Retracing song lines gives me goose pimples
Still
Like the trail boards upon Boo Boo Hill
Ooh, I know these stories were
All lived before me
Still, I got a couple that
I'll keep to myself
I'm so damn lucky to have an all-star cast
Some lovely, some crazy
Who ever thought this would last?
You know if I hadn't lived it
I'd read it myself
Tellin' tall tales is still
Good for my health
Keep movin' and listenin' and amusin' myself
I'm not ready to put the book on the shelf
We all live some days vicariously
Blinded by all the light we cannot see
Handed down stories, cave walls to pens
Worth tellin' again and again
I call these modalities great power tubes
Placed in the hands of dreamers and fools
We're descended from court jesters
Quite sure of that
Could you kindly pass around the hat?
And I know these stories were
Sailed way before me toss a note in a bottle
And hope that it helps
I'm so damn lucky to have an all-star crew
Some stoic, some crazy
Some just passin' through
I guess music and lyrics are what I do best
I'm all done explaining or passin' some test
So pour me another, it's good for my health
I'm not ready to put the book on the shelf
I'll keep scribblin' on pages
Not jumpin' off stages
Not ready to put the book on the shelf
Splashin' in the slack tide
Unchaperoned over on the flip side
I write what I know about, made up or true
These songs aren't for me, they're for you
Memories like meteors fly through my head
The sand was pearl white
Her bikini bright red
Retracing song lines gives me goose pimples
Still
Like the trail boards upon Boo Boo Hill
Ooh, I know these stories were
All lived before me
Still, I got a couple that

I'm so damn lucky to have an all-star cast
