Margaritaville

Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin the sun bake
All those tourists all covered in oil
Strumming my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smellin' those shrimp they're beginning to boil

Chorus:
I'm wasting away again in margaritaville
Looking for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault

I don't know the reason
I stay here all season
With nothing to show but a brand new tattoo
But she's a real beauty
A mexican cutie
But how it got here I haven't a clue

Chorus:
Wastin' away again in margaritaville
Searchin for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's my own damn fault

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped hard on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And real soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wastin' away again in waboritaville
Lookin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Yes and I heard people say that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault

Being a Redhead and a Parrothead for so many years, I love that Sammy did this song. I especially like the last verse where he changes it to Waboville like I have song this song for that past 20 years!! Having the great Toby Keith sing on it as well is just icing on the cake. Can't wait to hear it.
