Down On Longboat Key Lyrics by Alabama
Alabama Lyrics
She sits and stares out the window at the water
Every night down the cafe
All alone she sips her pina colada
Talking to herself dreaming away
The story is that a dark haired stranger
Stole her heart many years ago
He promised her he'd come back and take her
Around the world bring her hills of gold
Down on longboat key
Where the island sand meet in the Gulf Stream Bridge
Down on longboat key
She spends her life in a dream
On longboat key
Down on longboat key
Down on longboat key
Each afternoon as the snugboat comes in
She runs to meet them down the pier
She sees the fisherman's nets and the sunset
But she don't see him her eyes fill with tears
She stands there looking at the crystal blue water
And in the Coral she imagine pearls
She makes believe he brought them all the way from China
The water swirls
The blue green water swirls
Down on longboat key
Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream breeze
Down on longboat key
She spends her life in a dream
On longboat key
Down on longboat key
Down on longboat key
Young sailors makes a play to take her home
She says,"No,I'm already taken'
Oh,they just laugh when she mentions his name
She keeps on waiting,waiting,waiting,waiting
Down on longboat key
Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream breeze
Down on longboat key
She spends her life in a dream
On longboat key
Down on longboat key
Down on longboat key
