Paradise 02:39
We left South Carolina, we were headed for the Florida line Down to Pensacola where we would get wined and dined But it's a long road to get there, driving through the night with our gear And at 9 in the morning, hooray we finally made it, we're here Drinking beer on the beach, yeah we're living in paradise But the long road to get here comes at quite a price It wasn't always easy, I been broke down once or twice But I'm glad to take a gamble, put it all on a roll of the dice When I was there on my daddy's knee, strumming on my little guitar I always dreamed I'd make it but I never thought I'd come this far With all the trials and tribulations sometimes it makes me wanna quit But if you're looking for a payoff, I tell you brother - this is it Drinking beer on the beach, yeah we're living in paradise But the long road to get here comes at quite a price It wasn't always easy, I been broke down once or twice But I'm glad to take a gamble, put it all on a roll of the dice

You won't let me call you on the telephone You won't take my money, you won't let me come home You know I love you baby - why you call the cops on me? I know you love me, though you say you cain't Is you my baby or is you ain't? You know I love you baby - why you call the cops on me? I know you really love me baby - although you deny it The judge said I must keep my distance - all I wanna know is why? Gonna pull up behind you, gonna honk my horn Ask your mama, I won't do you no harm You know I love you baby, why you call the cops on me? I know you really love me baby - although you deny it The judge said I must keep my distance - all I wanna know is why? You're gonna change your mind in a week I bet You're gonna love me, you just don't know it yet You know I love you baby, why you call the cops on me? You know I love you baby, why you call the cops on me? You know I love you baby, why you call the cops on me?

Don't you worry about me when I'm gone Don't you worry, 'cause I'm going home Don't you dare be sad, think of all the good times we used to have I've lived my life, now I'm going home Don't you dare let me see you crying The pain is gone, I'm going home, so stop your sighing Remember my life - forget all the pain worry trouble and strife I know it's hard, but you gotta keep on trying It wasn't me that they laid down in that grave Just an empty shell - but the best part's been saved I'm alive in your heart - we're never gonna be apart It wasn't me that they laid down in that grave So don't you worry about me when I'm gone Don't you worry, 'cause I'm going home Don't you dare be sad, think of all the good times we used to have I've lived my life, now I'm going home
