Cowboy Boots and Bathing Suits
By: Jerry Jeff Walker
G+G
We've been here a week or so
C majorC
Now it's finally time to go
G+G D MajorD
Can't believe how quickly time has flown
G+G
Packin' up the bathin' suits
C majorC
Getting' out the cowboy boots
G+G D MajorD G+G
That's a sign we must be going home
G+G
Time just stopped for a little while
C majorC
We were part of a tiny island
G+G D MajorD
Made a lot of friends we'll keep for life
G+G
When we get back home to Texas
C majorC
And they ask us what we missed most
G+G D MajorD G+G
I'll shrug my shoulders and I'll smile
Chorus:
C majorC
Early mornings on the long boat dock
G+G
Drinkin' coffee as the sun comes up
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Lazy days napping in the big deck chair
C majorC
Late night dancing in the front street bar
G+G
Walking home underneath the stars
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Man it's like some dream we live down here
C majorC
Last night we ate conch and lobster,
G+G
Mark said it was his favorite dinner
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Maybe even the best one of his life,
C majorC
Dining underneath the stars
G+G
Chilean wine and Cuban cigars,
AM D MajorD G+G
I smiled at him and said you could be right
C majorC
And he got real quiet,
G+G
And he said you know,
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Hell I worked hard all my life
C majorC
I made a lot of dough,
G+G
I've been everywhere
AM D MajorD G+G
I don't think it gets any better than down here
C majorC
I mean the warmth and love of the people here,
G+G
no crime, no hate, or fear
G+G
I don't think I'm ready
AM D MajorD G+G
for the world waiting for me back there
I need me just...
Chorus:
C majorC
One more morning on the long boat dock,
G+G
drinking coffee as the sun comes up
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Drinking Bilikin beer in the big deck chair,
C majorC
late night dancin' in a front street bar
G+G
Makin' love under the stars,
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
man it's like some dream we live down here
C majorC
Walking home underneath the stars,
G+G
hearing voices from that empty bar
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Man it's like some dream we live done there
G+G
We've been here a week or so
C majorC
Now it's finally time to go
G+G D MajorD
Can't believe how quickly time has flown
G+G
Packin' up the bathin' suits
C majorC
Getting' out the cowboy boots
G+G D MajorD G+G
