Traded Mexican tequila for Jamaican rum

A rowdy sailor from Saint Barts to St.Croix

Home on the range is a beach of white sand

A sun-kissed tan my permanent brand

Like a drunk parrot making some noise

I got nothing against the good ole USA

Cept country radio stopped playing George Strait

Now I’m living in a reggae world

In love with an brown eyed almond-skinned girl

Then I love the country feel inside a Caribbean sound..cool

probably needs some , let me get on it , It was muted he made a mistake , sometimes I don't question Nashville
i thought maybe he thought it didn't need it . Lyically its pretty good , I'm not sure the melody beats radio
Harmony is there now , he messed up lol
Thanks

Your laid back "talk-sing" style is growing on me smile

Have you ever "really" ridden a bull?

Now Harmony is there , He told me rookie mistake lol

Yeah I rodeoed as a kid for years , Best years of life , Crashing hotels , ditch food bills in Dennys
The true bullriders are RCA , The last I looked the Brazilans had the market cornered on best bullriders. We were just kids , Was in Redding Ca at one , My buddy was barebacking a horse , Bones were sticking out his leg, he must flew 10 feet in the air before coming down lol, Denny Marlett he could sing too, Them ole cowboys , Hey man your bleeding on my fence
its a brutal sport Bodacious the meansest bull ever , He tucked his head and smashed your face, He had a bad ass spin that would destroy you .
Thanks
Back in that day you had a sucide wrap , Meaning you had to reach over with other hand to unwrap the bull rope out of your hand , if you did not you'd get drug by that bull around that ring. Clowns would save you

Lol... Well, the Spanish have been playing "chicken" with bulls for a thousand years lol. Bull "riding" actually originates in South America. I'm not sure brave is an accurate word for it lol... Those horns are there for a reason! Nope, not me. My Mom loves watching it though smile

Really enjoy this song bennash, the lyric for me is good readable and when sung and since I am apart of the Caribbean and you have mention like:

"Got beat up so flew Jet Blue to St. Thomas

Traded Mexican tequila for Jamaican rum

Play a knock off Chesney guitar with steel drums"

I find the song more interesting.

Great write

Irwin

Well, this is different! LOL. Just a really enjoyable song. Fun lyric, great hook, infectious melody and what JAPOV calls your talk-sing style fits right in. Great production too.
