Song Description

Let's run away from our problems and head to Costa Rica

Lyrics

DOWN IN COSTA RICA
By Marc-Alan Barnett & Warren Evans


CREDIT CARDS ARE ALL MAXED AGAIN
WE NEVER SEEM TO MAKE MORE THAN WE CAN SPEND
CAN WE PAY MASTERCARD OFF WITH THE VISA?
DOWN TO OUR LAST CAN OF PEANUT BUTTER
MAKIN THAT DREADED CALL TO YOUR MOTHER
I'D RATHER EAT A POISON IVY PIZZA

PILE OF BILLS ON THE TABLE WE CAN'T PAY
WHY DON'T WE JUST LEAVE HERE AND RUN AWAY

chorus
WE COULD LOOK AT COSTA RICA
OR MAYBE JUST DISAPPEAR
YOU AND ME, WHITE SANDY BEACHES
OUT OF EVE'RYBODY'S REACHES
DOWN IN COSTA RICA

THE WHOLE WORLD'S TRYIN TO COME ON OVER
KNOCKING DOWN FENCES TO GET PAST THE BORDER
YOU AND ME KINDA SORTA OUGHTA TURN THAT AROUND
LET THEM FIGURE OUT HOW TO STRETCH A PESO
JUMP THROUGH HOOPS CAUSE SOMEBOBY SEZ SO
AND SEE WHAT THE IRS IS ALL ABOUT

LEAVE A NOTE ON THE DOOR WHEN SOMEBODY COMES BY
OUR FORWARDING ADDRESS COULD BE PARADISE

WE COULD LOOK AT COSTA RICA
OR MAYBE JUST DISAPPEAR
YOU AND ME, WHITE SANDY BEACHES
OUT OF EVE'RYBODY'S REACHES
DOWN IN COSTA RICA
BRIDGE:
GUESS IT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD NEVER DO
BUT AT TIMES LIKE THESE I'D SURE LIKETO
LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND AND GO
HEY, YOU NEVER KNOW
