Big Pine Key

Someone take me to the ocean

Cause salt’s the cure for brokenness

And give me a bottle of tequila

In case the salt don’t do the trick

Drive me through the Keys of Florida

Southernmost point of the U.S.

I’ll trade my watch for a cigar

And I’ll give this broken heart my best

But just don’t take me to Big Pine Key

Just don’t take me to Looe Key Reef

I’ll start thinking of love and the mess love made of me

Keep me away from that little bay

And don’t stop at the pier cause I’ll wish he was here

I need to be by the sea

But just don’t take me to Big Pine Key

Find me a tiki bar in Key West

Islamorada or Largo

If the place can make me forget

Then I don’t care how far I’ll go

Set me up beside the Mangroves

Lookin’ out on a horizon sun

I don’t care if it’s hotter than hell

Long as I can say to hell with love

But just don’t take me to Big Pine Key

Just don’t take me to Looe Key Reef

I’ll start thinking of love and the mess love made of me

Keep me away from that little bay

And don’t stop at the pier cause I’ll wish he was here

I need to be by the sea

But just don’t take me to Big Pine Key

So give me a buzz and the sun

And a bartender that pretends to care

If there’s blue water and sand and I don’t give a damn

It don’t matter where

But just don’t take me to Big Pine Key

Just don’t take me to Looe Key Reef

I’ll start thinking of love and the mess love made of me

Keep me away from that little bay

And don’t stop at the pier cause I’ll wish he was here

I need to be by the sea

But just don’t take me to Big Pine Key
