Lyrics
Well, I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town
Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around
Moonshine and that's where they make it
Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night
And took it all the way to the end of the line
Stepped down in the sun when my feet hit the sand
What a long strange trip

Well, I spent my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well, I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl, oh yeah

(How many island girls we got there on the beach tonight?)
(Proud that)

Well, my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why
Jolly Roger flying on a picnic table
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
Don't know what makes you say, "What the hell"
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
Something 'bout her makes you just wanna dance
She loves to dance

And I spent my whole life running around (running around)
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well, I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl, oh
A pirate flag and an island girl
(Look at you go)

Well, I remember back home 'neath the big ol' moon
Tucked back in the woods, yeah life was good
But here we are in a local bar, drinkin' shootin' stars

I might spend my whole life running around (running around)
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl

(So what do you say, we collectively wave)
(That we collectively raise one mint powdered flag)
(Tonight out here on the beach)
(Is that okay with you guys?)

I spent my whole life running around (running around)
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well, I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
Pirate flag and an island girl

(Oh I'm not convinced)
(How many island girls we got that are nine south one)
(Yo oh oh)
(Thank you so much for that racket)
