Work took me down to this Key West town
Finally found a little time just to chill on out
Found a hole in the sand, a little bar, not to far off Duval
I ordered a double, scotch on the rocks
He just smiled at me and popped a top on an ice cold beer
Said welcome to paradise
I bet to look at me you'd never guess I used to dress like you
But I traded all that for this old straw hat and a life's a beach tattoo

CHORUS:
He said now I pop tops in my flip flops for the locals here
Working for tips, getting my free dibs on the shrimp and beer
He said I cashed out, and placed my bets
On a little peace of mind and no regrets
Soaking up everything beautiful under this old sun
I ain't making me a killing but I get a lot of living done

He said those crumpled up dollars in that jar right there
Sure buys a lot of free time in this fresh clean air
And a couple of rooms up above the bar over looking the beach
He pointed outside and said that's my old truck
Hell I don't even know if she'll still fire up
Cause I don't go anywhere, if it ain't on my own two feet
I finally figured out you only go around once in this life
So I laugh and love and drink it on up, one wave at a time

CHORUS:
He said now I pop tops in my flip flops for the locals here
Working for tips, getting my free dibs on the shrimp and beer
He said I cashed out, and placed my bets
On a little peace of mind and no regrets
Soaking up everything beautiful under this old sun
I ain't making me a killing but I get a lot of living

BRIDGE:
Done, down here
Where the coast is so clear

Work took me down to this Key West town
Now I've got a lot more time just to chill on out
I pop tops, just like him in my flip flops
I got me a life's a beach tattoo
