[Intro – Calypso Groove Steel drums shimmer, soft acoustic guitar, shaker and congas] Oh yeah… Ain’t nowhere I gotta be tonight… [Verse 1] Got my toes in the sand, sun sinkin’ low, Little island breeze got nowhere to go, Cold drink sweatin’ in the palm of my hand, Ain’t thinkin’ ’bout tomorrow, ain’t makin’ no plans. Got a blended drink and a beat-up chair, Palm trees dancing like they just don’t care, Out where the blue rolls into the sky, I’m sittin’ on the beach, lettin’ the world drift by. [Pre-Chorus] No phone ringin’, no clock tickin’, No boss callin’, no plans worth pickin’, Just a little rhythm and a tide rollin’ in… [Chorus] So let the world drift by, let the waves roll on, Let the sun go down with a Caribbean song, I got a little country in an island state of mind, With a steel guitar cryin’ while the steel drums shine. Ain’t chasin’ nothin’, and I ain’t askin’ why, Got my feet in the sand and the stars in my eyes, If paradise is somewhere, I think I know why— I’m sittin’ on this beach, lettin’ the world drift by. [Verse 2] There’s a barefoot kid kickin’ shells by the shore, Somebody’s laughin’ from a little beach bar door, The moon comes up like a silver dollar, And that ocean keeps singin’ just a little bit louder. I’ve spent too many years runnin’ full speed, Chasin’ things I didn't really need, Now I’ve finally found what money can’t buy— A hammock, a sunset, and a wide-open sky. [Pre-Chorus] No deadlines, no hurry, Ain’t got a single reason to worry, Just a little rhythm and a tide rollin’ in… [Chorus] So let the world drift by, let the waves roll on, Let the sun go down with a Caribbean song, I got a little country in an island state of mind, With a steel guitar cryin’ while the steel drums shine. Ain’t chasin’ nothin’, and I ain’t askin’ why, Got my feet in the sand and the stars in my eyes, If paradise is somewhere, I think I know why— I’m sittin’ on this beach, lettin’ the world drift by. [Bridge – Calypso Breakdown] Steel drums take the lead, percussion builds One wave… two waves… Wash all my worries away, One breeze… two palms… Feels like I’ve finally come home. [Final Chorus – Bigger] So let the world drift by, let the waves roll on, Turn that island rhythm up and sing along, Got a little country soul underneath these palm trees, And the ocean’s playin’ backup with the rhythm of the breeze. Ain’t chasin’ nothin’, and I ain’t askin’ why, Got my feet in the sand and the stars in my eyes, Tomorrow can wait on the other side of the sky— I’m sittin’ on this beach, Just sittin’ on this beach, Letting the world drift by. [Outro] Acoustic guitar + steel drums fade Yeah… Let it drift… Let it drift on by…
