Lyrics
Like I'm A Local
Rick Amburgey
Verse 1:
Every time that I'm in the islands
I have to trade my boots for flip flops
Cause sand kept getting in my Justins
And I love watching waves hit the rocks
Went for a swim in the ocean this morning
Left my worries there in the water
And took some time to quiet the noise
So I lingered a little longer
Chorus:
And I'm laying low, flying solo
Lovin a life that's mostly golden
That clock might as well be broken
I made up my mind to take every day
Nice and slow, really go with the flow
Cause I'm getting a little coastal
Like I'm a local, Like I'm a local
Verse 2:
Didn't have plans for the rest of the day
Til my nose found the smell of jerk chicken
That's when I saw my good friend Jose
And we ate and played songs into the evening
Chorus:
And I'm laying low, flying solo
Lovin a life that's mostly golden
That clock might as well be broken
I made up my mind to take every day
Nice and slow, really go with the flow
Cause I'm getting coastal
Like I'm a local, Like I'm a local
Bridge:
Whether I'm in this paradise
Or back at home in Tennessee
I'm letting you know I'm gonna be
Chorus:
...laying low, flying solo
Lovin a life that's mostly golden
That clock might as well be broken
I made up my mind to take every day
Nice and slow, really go with the flow
Cause I'm getting coastal
Like I'm a local, Like I'm a local
Alternate Verse 1:
Leave my worries in the water
And my boots under the bed
Not a shoulda, coulda, oughta
Running circles through my head
Watching the time roll in and out
And in and out and in again
Puff, puff, pass the time clearing my mind
From all the places that I've been
Alternate Chorus:
I'm laying low, flying solo
High on life and a little you know
That clock might as well be broken
Nice and slow, really go with the flow
Cause I’m getting a little coastal
Like I'm a local, Like I'm a local
