Come Away To Belize With Me Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



Chorus:

Hey come away to Belize with me, show you how simple life can be

Long hazy days in the sun, 

Where it seems everyone has a smile when we meet

Under blue skies and emerald seas, warm winds and those coconut trees

They say your heart never leaves, once you've been down to Belize



In daylight the sunlight chases the grey lights of lingering night

Down by the beach a lone hare 

And he keeps his eye on the fish in the tide

But I hear the boats, of the fisherman going to the flats where the bonefishes
run

And the folks of San Pedro, all driving the same road, start their long day in
the sun



Chorus



So, let's get a boat, and some snorkels and go on out to the reef

We'll leave the fat folks, who wear shoes and white socks with cameras back on
the beach



There's no pain or sorrow, down by the coral and Susan and Brownie and me

And we'll fish by the reef, for some snappers to eat, as we race the ray back
to the beach



Chorus



So at sunset we'll go sit, way out on the old deck, till the pink light is
gone

From a funky old bar, I can hear a guitar playing, playing a down island
song

The moon on the water, the pina colada, something you just gotta see

And that's when you start to notice your heart, has fallen in love with
Belize



Chorus
