Well, I come from a little bitty homegrown small town
Smoky mountains, nice place to hang around
Moonshine, that's where they make it
Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked
But I jumped on the Greyhound bus one night
And took it all the way to the end of the line
Stepped out in the sun when my feet hit the sand
What a long, strange trip
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
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
Blander in the kitchen, well, it enabled
Don't know what makes you say, what the
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sand
Something about her makes you just wanna dance
And she loves to dance
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
Well, I remember back home
Neat the big old moon top
Back in the woods, yeah, life was good
But here we are at a local bar
Drinking, shooting stars
I might spend 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
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
