Cowboy Boots and Bathing Suits
By: Jerry Jeff Walker

G 
We've been here a week or so
C
Now it's finally time to go
G                                  D
Can't believe how quickly time has flown
G
Packin' up the bathin' suits
C
Getting' out the cowboy boots
G                D             G
That's a sign we must be going home


G
Time just stopped for a little while
C
We were part of a tiny island
G                                    D
Made a lot of friends we'll keep for life
G
When we get back home to Texas
C
And they ask us what we missed most
G             D                  G
I'll shrug my shoulders and I'll smile


Chorus:

C
Early mornings on the long boat dock
G
Drinkin' coffee as the sun comes up
Am        D                       G
Lazy days napping in the big deck chair
C
Late night dancing in the front street bar
G
Walking home underneath the stars
Am                 D                  G
Man it's like some dream we live down here


C
Last night we ate conch and lobster,
G
Mark said it was his favorite dinner
Am         D                   G
Maybe even the best one of his life,
C
Dining underneath the stars
G
Chilean wine and Cuban cigars,
AM                  D                 G
I smiled at him and said you could be right


C
And he got real quiet,
G
And he said you know,
Am     D                  G
Hell I worked hard all my life
C
I made a lot of dough,
G
I've been everywhere
AM                    D                    G
I don't think it gets any better than down here


C
I mean the warmth and love of the people here,
G
no crime, no hate, or fear
G
I don't think I'm ready
AM                    D           G
for the world waiting for me back there


I need me just...

Chorus:

C
One more morning on the long boat dock,
G
drinking coffee as the sun comes up
Am               D                    G
Drinking Bilikin beer in the big deck chair,
C
late night dancin' in a front street bar
G
Makin' love under the stars,
Am                 D                  G
man it's like some dream we live down here


C
Walking home underneath the stars,
G
hearing voices from that empty bar
Am                 D                  G
Man it's like some dream we live done there


G 
We've been here a week or so
C
Now it's finally time to go
G                                  D
Can't believe how quickly time has flown
G
Packin' up the bathin' suits
C 
Getting' out the cowboy boots
G                D             G
That's a sign we must be goin' home...
