Lyrics
Margarita Dream
(Tim Patterson)
Had a dream I was down on the island with my six string in my hand
Thinking about ole Jimmy Buffet and working on my suntan
Trying to write a song about paradise and sipping Margaritas all day
The people on the island just don't give a damn cause they know they've got it made
Chorus
And I was watching the sunsets and playing for tourists by the sea
And I was strumming my six string ... sailing through my Margarita Dream
Stumbled in to a seaside tavern ... my favorite tiki bar
She poured my draught I made her laugh and then she offered me a ride in her car
I asked her for her thoughts about paradise and if her place was where that I might stay
The people on the island just don't give a damn cause they know they've got it made
Chorus
And I was watching the sunsets and playing for tourists by the sea
And I was strumming my six string ... stumbling through my Margarita Dream
Bridge
Looking back it's kind of hazy ... lots of time's gone by since then
Seems the whole dang world's gone crazy ... I wish I was back at Captain Tony's again
Lead
