1
Some folks say that I've got the perfect life
2
Three swell kids, lots of toys and a lovely wife
3
I fly, I sail, I throw caution to the wind
4
Drift like a stratus cloud above the Caribbean
5
But every now and then, the dragons come to call
6
Just when you least expect it you'll be dodgin' cannonballs
7
I've seen too much not to stay in touch
8
With a world full of love and luck
9
I've got a big suspicion 'bout ammunition
10
I never forget to duck
11
[Chorus:]
12
Come back, come back back to Jamaica
13
Don't chu know we made a big mistaica
14
We'd be so sad if you told us good-bye
15
And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky
16
It was a beautiful day, the kind you want to toast
17
We were tree top flyin' movin' west along the coast
18
Then we landed in the water, just about my favorite thrill
19
When some asshole started firing as we taxied to Negril
20
Just about to lose my temper as I endeavored to explain
21
We had only come for chicken we were not a ganja plane
22
Well, you should have seen their faces when they finally realized
23
We were not some coked up cowboy sporting guns and alibis
24
[Chorus]
25
They shot from the lighthouse, they shot from highway
26
They shot from the top of the cliff, they had all gone haywire
27
We're catchin' fire, and there wasn't even a spliff
28
Well, the word got out all over the island
29
Friends, strangers, they were all apologizin'
30
Some thought me crazy foe being way too nice
31
But it's just another shitty day in paradise
32
[Chorus]
