Sean McCarthy Band - Gimme Back My Island Lyrics
Official




We moved way down here a hundred years ago
We were lookin' for a better life, runnin' from the cold
Way back then when folks were friendly
And we listened to the radio
Couldn't get away with nothin' without mama knowing
Friday night we'd all pile in to see what movie's showin'
Times sure were simpler then now the train is runnin' outta control
Gimme back, gimme back, gimme back my island
Give it back, give it back, give it back right now
Gimme back, gimme back, gimme back my island
Tell me what do you really need with it anyhow
Now there's a for sale sign, everywhere ya turn
Fancy cars and big ole houses and money to burn
Still there's nowhere that we can dock our boats
They say can't walk on our beach no more
Fillin' up all the pockets of the politicians
While we're standin' here in line fillin' out petitions
Now I'm all about makin' a dollar but my cheeks are sure gettin' sore
Gimme back, gimme back, gimme back my island
Give it back, give it back, give it back right now
Gimme back, gimme back, gimme back my island
Tell me what do you really need with it anyhow
Seems like everybody wants to be here now dontcha know
There all lookin' for a better life runnin' from the cold
Let's treat it like it's our home
