Lyrics

Ceviche and Wine

I've got something that'll taste great with wine on the end of my line
30 miles out of Biscayne Bay
Chardonnay on ice and my beautiful wife
waits at home to make Ceviche and play

Can't think of any better way to be spending a day
Warm blue ocean outside our front door
There is no other life that I'd rather be living more

Ceviche and wine
It's gonna be a good time
Toes dug into the sand, I'll be holding her hand
Feeling better than fine
Ceviche and wine
and that sweet love of mine
Gazing out at the sea, my sweetheart and me
Ceviche and wine

I've caught a few snapper and my old lobster traps are
catching tails that I'll throw on to the grill
Some moonlight romancing, soft kiss and slow dancing
What comes next, (chuckle) my lips are sealed

Nothing perks up my dorsal more than butter-soaked morsels
and the sweet lips of my awesome girl
So, it's anchors away and back to my favorite place in the world

Ceviche and wine
It's gonna be a good time
Toes dug into the sand, I'll be holding her hand
Feeling better than fine
Ceviche and wine
and that sweet love of mine
Gazing out at the sea, my sweetheart and me
Ceviche and wine

Ceviche and wine
It's gonna be a good time
Toes dug into the sand, I'll be holding her hand
Feeling better than fine
Ceviche and wine
and that sweet love of mine
Gazing out at the sea, my sweetheart and me
Ceviche and wine

Gazing out at the sea, my sweetheart and me
Ceviche and wine
