We have always been fans of Jimmy Buffett and John Cruz. Their songs all have a unique blend of emotions that make them special. We wrote “Island Time” after Jimmy Buffett passed away imagining what it would be like if they wrote a song together.

LYRICS

Woke up in the morning or the middle of the night
Rooster keeps crowing, gonna lose my mind
Rolled out of bed and I looked outside
There’s no place i gotta go

Turned on my phone and im late for work
Stopped at old A’s had to check the surf
Hopped in the water so my head don’t hurt
Never stop moving slow

Maybe i been away too long
I don’t really know what’s going on
Still haven’t found my peace of mind
Maybe i’m just tired of trying

Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Living on island time

Once I had a girl who I called my wife
Found out she had another on the side
Packed up my bags and I said goodbye
That was a while ago

Maybe I been away too long
I don’t really know what’s going on
Still haven’t found my peace of mind
Maybe i’m just tired of trying

Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Living on island time

One part rum
One part Curacao
Two parts rum
Not enough to cure us now
Three parts rum
Squeeze a little lime
Four parts rum living on island time

Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Aayyyeee, yeah yeahAayyyeee, yeah yeah
Living on island time

Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Aayyyeee, yeah yeah
Living on island time
Living on island time
Living on island time
