I Want to Go to Hawaii - TJ Carter

An original song written and recorded by me, TJ Carter, recorded 10-22-11.

Lyrics:
I want to go to Hawaii and lay in the sand
I want to drink an umbrella drink
From a coconut or a glass

I'm gonna wear sandles
Or maybe walk in my bare feet
I'm gonna let the ocean swells
Wash my ankles clean

And there will be pretty girls down there
I just know that there will
Smiling and laughing in the sun
They've got those laser beam eyes and they're set on stun

Aw damn it sounds so good
I can almost see it now
Though its raining outside my door
My mind's in Hawaii, I'm gonna get there somehow


I'm going to wake up in the morning
And put my sunglasses on
I won't have to drink coffee
Cause the clouds in my head will all be gone
And the palm trees will be waving at me
There's a gentle breeze on the air
A little hula girl's looking my way
She's got the wind blowing through her long dark hair
And when the day is over
I'll watch the sunset hang on the sand
Playing Margaritaville
cause Jimmy Buffett's the man

Gonna be happy some day
Though it seems a little strange to me now
Everything's been moving real fast
I just haven't had the time to figure it out
But when I get to Hawaii
I'm gonna settle it down there
Find a little piece of paradise
And a little bit of peace for my heart
A little bit of peace, a little piece of peace for my heart

I want to go to Hawaii and lay in the sand
I want to drink pina coladas
From a coconut or a glass

And once I find a pretty girl by my side
I'll never have to ask for more
Maybe she's selling seashells
By the sea shore
And we'll get married
On a white sandy beach somewhere
And the bridesmaids will be dolphins
And a turtle will be the ring bearer
And we'll make love
Every single day of the year
My little hula girl and me
And Jimmy Buffet on the Ukulele

Gonna be happy some day
Though it seems a little strange to me now
Everything's been moving real fast
I just haven't had the time to figure it out
But when I get to Hawaii
I'm gonna settle it down there
Find a little piece of paradise
And a little bit of peace for my heart
A little bit of peace, a little piece of peace for my heart

I want to go to Hawaii
And lay in the sand
I want to drink one of those girly drinks
From a coconut or an ice cold glass

And the sun's got sunglasses on
And a cold beverage in his hand
And he's shining right down on me
Giving me a big thumbs up with his other hand
Its like a dream come true
Feels like I'm walking on the air
And the kool aide guy he's there too
He's got some kool aide with him to share
A big old pitcher of cool aide
And he's walking down the beach with me
And when I need a refill
He says "ooohhh yea"
And pours me another drink
