Lyrics:
Jamaica This Way
Jimmy Buffet would be right at home in this Kingston bar by the sea
A cool dude with dreadlocks rocks out a steel drum
To a classic calypso beat
A salty breeze drifts from the beach, where bare feet dance in the sand
My girl woulda made this all heaven
Not just a spot for a winter tan...but
(Chorus)
She's high in the Rockies two thousand miles away
Things got crazy and she wanted some space
We had big dreams of the day we'd come to this place
Oh, I never expected to see Jamaica this way
Now the tiki torches are lit, a ball of fire's goin' down in the west
And a black haired beauty sits down next to me
With a smile that steals my breath
She says, "I've worn that look before and been down the same dark road"
I say, "Let's throw back some strong Marguirita's
And have a broken hearted toast...'cause
(Chorus)
They say you can touch the clouds in Denver
Nearly whisper in St. Peter's ear
Kingston Town ain’t got much elevation
But, I just met an angel down here
(Chorus)
My ex is high in the Rockies two thousand miles away
Man, things got crazy and she wanted some space
Didn't know how much would change when I got on that plane
Cause, I never expected to see Jamaica this way
No, I never expected to see Jamaica this way
Aw, I'm here in Jamaica, mon I love this place
Feelin' good...
