Island Boy – Phil Vassar (originally by Kenny Chesney)

He left Maine ’cause he needed a change And he was desperate to rearrange priorities And he thought the sea Would be the best place to be So he saved his money, sold his car And with his eye set on a Southern star He got the courage to follow his heart Set out for a brand new start
He’s an island boy Yeah he’s an island boy Living his life where stress is the enemy Now he’s an island boy A stone’s throw from St. Croix He’s finally found his piece of serenity
Now he tends bar at the Old Mango And he sees tourists come and go With their pressed pants and camera case Too much sun burned on their face And he watches the snow on CNN With all of his dope-smokin’ friends Just look at the hell they must be in Swears he won’t go back again
Cause he’s an island boy Yeah he’s an island boy Living his life where stress is the enemy Yeah he’s an island boy A stone’s throw from St. Croix He’s finally found his piece of serenity
You know the love of his life has always been Emily She loves the man she sees
In her island boy He’s an island boy Living his life where stress is the enemy And now he’s an island boy A stone’s throw from St. Croix He’s finally found his piece of serenity
Yeah he’s an island boy A stone’s throw from St. Croix Yeah
