[Verse]
D
She said I can't go back to America soon
So goddamn cold it's gonna snow until June
              G                      Em
Yeah, they're freezin' up in Buffalo stuck in their cars

    A                         G            D
And I'm lyin' here 'neath the sun and the stars

D
Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave
She's got a plan hidden up her shrewd sleeve

Wants to find her a captain, a man of strong mind

    A                G             D      D7
And any direction he blows will be fine

[Verse]
D
Tried and I tried but I don't understand
Never seemed to work out the way I had it planned

Hangin' out at a marina when Steve Martin called

        A                    G           D
Singin' anybody there really want to get small

D
But women and water are in short supply
There's not enough dope for us all to get high
   G                       Em
I hear it gets better, that's what they say

    A                    G           D      D7
As soon as we sail on to Cane Garden Bay

Don't ever forget that you just may wind up in my song

D
Called my friends on those cheap nightly rates
Sure was good to talk to the old United States
          G                        Em
While the lights of St. Thomas lie twenty miles west

      A                        G           D
I see General Electric's still doing their best

D
I got to head this boat South pretty soon
New album's old and I'm fresh out of tunes
      G                         Em
But I know that I'll get 'em, I know that they'll come

Through the people and places and Caldwood's Rum
