VERSE 1
...oh [|][C]Lookin' back at my back[|][C]ground
Tryin' to figure [|][G]out how I ever got [|]
[G]here[|] [G7]Some things are still a my[|][G7]stery 
to me While [|][C]others [C_XX03]are much too [|]
[C7]clear[C_XX01]I'm just [|][F]livin' in the sun[|][F]shine
Stay [|][C]contented most of the [|][Am][\]ti[Asus4][\]me
[Am][\\]Yeah, [|][D]listenin' to Murphy, [|][D]Walker, and Willis[|]
[D]Sing me their Texas [|][G]rhymes[|][G7][|]

VERSE 2
[C]Now most of the people who re[|][C]tire in Florida
Are [|][G]wrinkled and they lean on a [|][G]crutch
And [|][G7]mobile homes are smo[|][G7]therin' my keys
I [|][C]hate those [C_XX03]bastards so [|][C7]much[C_XX01]
I wish a [|][F]summer squall would [|][F]blow them
All the [|][C]way up to fantasy [|][Am][\]land[Asus4][\]
[Am][\\]Yeah, they're [|][D]ugly and square, they [|][D]don't belong here
They looked a [|][F]lot better [G]as beer [|][C]cans[|]

CHORUS
[C]Yeah and [|][Am]that's why it's still a [|][Am]mystery to me
Why [|][G]some people live like they [|][G]do[|]
[Am]So many nice things [|][Am]happenin' out there
They [|][D7]never even seen the [|][G]clues
Oh, but [|][F]we're doin' fine, we can [|][F]travel and rhyme
I [|][C]know we been doin' our [|][Am]part
Got a [|][F]Caribbean soul I can [|][C]barely control
And some [|][G]Texas hidden here in my [|][Am]heart[|] [Am] [|] [C] [|]

VERSE 3
[C]Well, now [|][C]I might have joined the [|][C]Merchant Marine
If I [|][G]hadn't learned how to [|][G]sing
And on [|][G7]top of all that I got [|][G7]married too early[|]
[C]'Cost me much [C_XX03]more than a [|][C]ring[C_XX01]
But now those [|][F]crazy days are [|][F]over
Just gotta [|][C]learn from the wrong things you've [|][Am][\]done[Asus4][\]
[Am][\\]I came [|][D]off the rebound, started [|][D]lookin' around[|]
[F]Figured [G]out it's time to have a little [|][C]fun[|]

CHORUS
[C]Yeah and [|][Am]that's why it's still a [|][Am]mystery to me
Why [|][G]some people live like they [|][G]do[|]
[Am]So many nice things [|][Am]happenin' out there
They [|][D7]never even seen the [|][G]clues
Oh, but [|][F]we're doin' fine, we can [|][F]travel and rhyme
I [|][C]know we been doin' our [|][Am]part
Got a [|][F]Caribbean soul I can [|][C]barely control
And some [|][G]Texas hidden here in my [|][Am]heart[|] [Am] [|] [C] [|]

VERSE 4
[C]Well, now [|][C]if I ever live to [|][C]be an old man
I'm gonna [|][G]sail down to Martini[|][G]que
I'm gonna [|][G7]buy me a sweat-stained [|][G7]Bogart suit
And an [|][C]African [C_XX03]para[|][C7]keet[C_XX01]
And then I'll [|][F]sit him on my [|][F]shoulder
And [|][C]open up my trusty old [|][Am][\]mind[Asus4][\]
[Am][\\]I gonna [|][D7]teach him how to cuss, [|][D7]teach him how to fuss
And pull the [|][F]cork out of a [G]bottle of [|][C]wine[|]

CHORUS
[C]Yeah and [|][Am]that's why it's still a [|][Am]mystery to me
Why [|][G]some people live like they [|][G]do[|]
[Am]So many nice things [|][Am]happenin' out there
They [|][D7]never even seen the [|][G]clues
Oh, but [|][F]we're doin' fine, we can [|][F]travel and rhyme
I [|][C]know we been doin' our [|][Am]part
Got a [|][F]Caribbean soul I can [|][C]barely control
And some [|][G]Texas hidden here in my [|][Am]heart[|] 

OUTRO
[Am]Yeah, got a [|][F]Caribbean soul I can [|][C]barely control
And some [|][G7]Texas hidden here in my [|][F]he[|][G]art [|] [C]	[|]	[C]
