Island Boy - Phil Vassar

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

Got the courage to follow his heart

Set out for a brand new start

He’s an island boy

Now 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

Now 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

He’s an island boy

Now 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

You know the love of his life has always been Emily

She loves the man she sees

In her island boy

Now 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

Island boy

A stone’s throw from St. Croix

Island boy
