[Intro – Calypso] (Steel drum, shaker, congas, muted acoustic guitar) Hey now… Sun goin' down, music turned up, Little salt on the rim and ice in my cup… [Verse 1 – Calypso Groove] I flew down with my head half full, Had a worn-out heart and a mind to cool, Palm trees swayin' like they knew my name, She was barefoot dancing when I stepped off the plane. She said, “Boy, you look like you need a night, So leave that trouble underneath that moonlight.” [Pre-Chorus – Building] Then the band started singing, And the rhythm changed its tune, That island beat was fading Underneath the island moon. [Chorus – COUNTRY KICKS IN] Now we're dancing under a Margarita Moon, Two-step spinning to a southern tune, She's got a little island in her caribbean soul, And I'm falling faster than a river rolls. Yeah, the night got country, but the feeling stayed cool, She turned this beach-town heart into a dancing fool, I came looking for a place to forget what went wrong— Found a little bit of heaven when she pulled me along. [Verse 2 – Country/Calypso Fusion] Now there's pedal steel crying underneath the stars, Fiddle keeping time while we're leaning on the bar, She's laughing like she hasn't got a worry in the world, I'm thinking, “Lord, I might just marry this girl.” From the sandy shoreline to a dusty two-lane, She's got that sunshine running through her veins. [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, the palm trees keep on swaying, But that steel guitar rings true, A little bit of island rhythm, A whole lot of me and you. [Chorus] We're dancing under a Margarita Moon, Two-step spinning to a southern tune, She's got a little island in her caribbean soul, And I'm falling faster than a river rolls. Yeah, the night got country, but the feeling stayed cool, She turned this beach-town heart into a dancing fool, I came looking for a place to forget what went wrong— Found a little bit of heaven when she pulled me along. [Bridge – Strip Back] (Calypso percussion returns, acoustic guitar and steel drum) Maybe I was meant to lose my way, Just to find her at the end of the day, Sometimes the road takes you somewhere new, Just when you're done looking for something true. [Breakdown] (Calypso groove builds) Hey now… Come on, baby… One more dance… Under that moon… [Final Chorus – BIG COUNTRY] We're dancing under a Margarita Moon, Two-step spinning to a southern tune, She's got a little island in her caribbean soul, And I'm falling faster than a river rolls. Yeah, the stars came out and the guitars played, And every little worry just faded away, I came looking for a place to forget what went wrong— Found my forever when she pulled me along. [Outro – Calypso] (Steel drum, shaker, acoustic guitar fade) Margarita moon… Keep shining down… She turned this country boy Into an island-town fool…
