Lyrics

We don't have an ocean where I come from
No city pool, just an old muddy creek
And I never knew so many cowboys like the Caribbean
And singing about places, the working man's never seen
The only hurricane 'round here's in a Dixie cup
The only oil that ever touched my skin, was dripping from my truck
People find their oasis in all different places
But the coast is just out of my reach
Anyway, Waylon never sang about the beach
They don't sell Corona down at Bill's package store
The only beer we drink comes in a can
The old farmer down south of town grows his own Jamaica
And last Sunday night the Elks Club had a reggae band
The only hurricane 'round here's in a Dixie cup
The only oil that ever touched my skin, was dripping from my truck
People find their oasis in all different places
But the coast is just out of my reach
Anyway, Johnny Cash never sang about the beach
I'd rather be fishing with Merle somewhere on Lake Shasta
Than down in Miami Beach playing shuffleboard and canasta
The only hurricane 'round here's in a Dixie cup
The only oil that ever touched my skin, was dripping from my truck
People find their oasis in all different places
But the coast is just out of my reach
Anyway, Bocephus never sang about the beach
And I'm pretty sure ol' Waylon never sang about the beach
