C Lookin' back at my background G Tryin' to figure out how I ever got here G7 Some things are still a mystery to me C C7 While others are much too clear F I'm just livin' in the sunshine C Am Stay contented most of the time D Yeah, listenin' to Murphy, Walker, and Willie G Gadd11 G Sing me their Texas rhymes
[Verse 2]
C Now most of the people who retire in Florida G Are wrinkled and they lean on a crutch G7 And mobile homes are smotherin' my Keys C C7 I hate those bastards so much F I wish a summer squall would blow them C Am All the way up to fantasy land D7 Yeah, they're ugly and square, they don't belong here F G7 C | C They look a lot better as beer cans
[Chorus]
Am Yeah, and that's why it's still a mystery to me G Why some people live like they do Am With so many nice things happenin' out there D7 G They've never even seen the clues F Oh, but we're doin' fine, we can travel and rhyme C Am I know we've been doin' our part F C Got a Caribbean soul I can barely control G7 Am | Am | C | C And some Texas hidden here in my heart
[Verse 3]
C Well, now I might have joined the Merchant Marine G If I hadn't learned how to sing G7 And on top of all that I got married too early C C7 'Cost me much more than a ring F But now those crazy days are over C Am You've just got to learn from the wrong things you've done D7 I came off the rebound, started lookin' around F G C | C Figured out it's time to have a little fun
[Chorus]
Am Yeah, and that's why it's still a mystery to me G Why some people live like they do Am With so many nice things happenin' out there D7 G They've never even seen the clues F Oh, but we're doin' fine, we can travel and rhyme C Am I know we've been doin' our part F C Got a Caribbean soul I can barely control G7 Am | Am | C | C And some Texas hidden here in my heart
[Verse 4]
C Well, now if I ever live to be an old man G I'm gonna sail down to Martinique G7 I'm gonna buy me a sweat-stained Bogart suit C C7 And an African parakeet F And then I'll sit him on my shoulder C Am And open up my trusty old mind D7 I'm gonna teach him how to cuss, teach him how to fuss F G C | C And pull the cork out of a bottle of wine
[Chorus]
Am Yeah, and that's why it's still a mystery to me G Why some people live like they do Am With so many nice things happenin' out there D7 G They've never even seen the clues F Oh, but we're doin' fine, we can travel and rhyme C Am I know we've been doin' our part F C Got a Caribbean soul I can barely control G7 Am | Am And some Texas hidden here in my heart Yeah F C Got a Caribbean soul I can barely control G7 F G And some Texas hidden here in my heart C C C7 Yo do li da do do do do do
