You can take me back to my friends in Tampa Bay
It's hard here so I really should come away
The winter here's so cold and grey
I wish I could be back in Tampa Bay
Back home on the island
No time to go out fishing in the bay
I dream I will be back there some day
The girls out there they just blow me away
There's everything you want right there in Tampa Bay
Where the pirate ships still rule the waves
At home on our island
No time to go out fishing in the bay, no
At the Roach motel you don't have to pay
I'm too hungover from the party there yesterday
Got up really late in the day
Then the girls come round and they drive us out again
Home on your island
I wish I was here to stay
Back home on your islands
I'm sorry but I gotta leave today"
