Larry Folk - Madeira Way

Madeira Way (Folk)

Just nestled on the Gulf Coast west of Tampa Bay
You’ll find Madeira Beach calling you its way
It’s hard to block that call and go the other way
Don’t fight it, you’ll find it’s perfect there today

Where sunshine meets up with the bluest sky each day
If dark clouds ever show, they quickly slip away
White sand, cool water underneath your feet
Salt air in your hair and your day’s complete

This is life Madeira way
You’ll be falling for the lifestyle
Life Madeira way
Just sayin’ you’ll be stayin’ for a while

It’s early in the day you’ve gotta make your move
You linger for too long, the sunshine gets its groove
But we both know you know that situation’s fine
Don’t sweat it, you bet it’s nice in the sunshine
The place keeps changing rearranging all its lines
And that can only mean even better times
It’s hard to improve perfection, you’ve kept all your charms
You welcome the world with open arms

This is life Madeira way
You’ll be falling for the lifestyle
Life Madeira way
Just sayin’ you’ll be stayin’ for a while

Later when the day is fading saying its goodbyes
A sunset so beautiful, you won’t believe your eyes
A million colors in the sky when day is done
Madeira Beach, you’re a jewel in the sun.

This is life Madeira way
Think I’m falling for the lifestyle
Life Madeira way
Just sayin’ I’ll be playin’ for a while
