Lyrics

Just came down for the weekend I was running from the ice and snow Where the tropic sun comes beating down On the Gulf of Mexico The sunshine that I was seeking I found where the warm winds blow Just came down for the weekend Twenty-five years ago Now, I'm sitting in my salty jeans Got a belly full of rice and beans Drinking beer and singing my songs Just an old tourist that stayed too long I'm warning all you folks tonight You can have your fun But don't you miss that flight Because if you do, than you just might Turn out to be acting just like me Yeah, I still got my round trip ticket I keep it just up over my bed Folded up to plug a hole in the roof And keep the rain off of my head I ain't returning no phone calls I ain't accepting to no mail Singing and calling out To the dolphin, and the grouper, and the yellowtail Now, I'm sitting in my salty jeans Got a belly full of rice and beans Drinking beer and singing my songs Just an old tourist that stayed too long I'm warning all you folks tonight You can have your fun But don't you miss that flight Because if you do, than you just might Turn out to be acting just like me Just came down for the weekend I was running from the ice and snow Where the tropic sun comes beating down On the Gulf of Mexico The sunshine that I was seeking I found where the warm winds blow Just came down for the weekend Twenty-five years ago Yeah, the sunshine that I was seeking I found where the warm winds blow Just came down for the weekend Twenty-five years ago Oh, I just came down for the weekend Twenty-five years ago
