Вступление
[Verse 1]
C
He was three years out of college,
F C
A damned good engineer.
F C
Worked hard all day, then he partied away.
G F C
Things were happy on the old frontier.
C
Had a plan for taking life easy,
F C
Avoiding the kids and a wife.
F C
He drove all the women crazy.
G F C
These were the three best years of his life.
C
Then the corporate boys they called him
F C
And said we’ve got a job to do.
F C
Got this problem up in North Dakota
G F C
And we need a man just like you.
C
But the sound of the plains and the freezing rain
F C
Hit him like a fatal disease.
F C
Put a beer to his mouth, took 95-South
G F C
And he headed for the Keys.
[CHORUS]
C F
And it’s just the sweetest life he’s ever tasted,
C
A little laid back and key wasted.
G
He’s got his toes in the sand, he’s a tropical man
F G C
He’s happy as hell and it shows.
F
He’s just living in a drunken stupor,
C
Making some money on that old square grouper.
G
Never had any doubt and if it doesn’t work out,
F G C
Well, that’s just the way it goes.
[Verse 2]
C
Got a job making margaritas
F C
In a little bar by the pier,
F C
Till he finally made some connections
G F C
With some big-time buccaneers.
C
Now he spends some time in Cartagena
F C
Making plans for the haul.
F C
Might be dealing with bums, might be dangerous to some
G F C
But the old boy is having a ball.
[CHORUS]
C F
And it’s just the sweetest life he’s ever tasted,
C
A little laid back and key wasted.
G
He’s got his toes in the sand, he’s a tropical man
F G C
He’s happy as hell and it shows.
F
He’s just living in a drunken stupor,
C
Making some money on that old square grouper.
G
Never had any doubt and if it doesn’t work out,
F G C
Well, that’s just the way it goes.
[Verse 3]
C
Now his friends all worry about him;
F C
They think he’s throwing his future away.
F C
It’s kind of hard being upwardly mobile
G F C
When you’re laying in the sun all day.
C
So they call him up to convince him
F C
And tell him what it’s all about.
F C
But on the phone he can never stop laughing,
G F C
He’s got the whole damned thing figured out.
[CHORUS]
C F
And it’s just the sweetest life he’s ever tasted,
C
A little laid back and key wasted.
G
He’s got his toes in the sand, he’s a tropical man
F G C
He’s happy as hell and it shows.
F
He’s just living in a drunken stupor,
C
Making some money on that old square grouper.
G
Never had any doubt and if it doesn’t work out,
F G C
Well, that’s just the way it goes.
