[Verse 1]
Well I Ecome from a little bitty, Dhomegrown small town
ASmoky Mountains, nA7ice place to hang around
EMoonshine, Dthat's where they make it
APut it in a jug, makes you want to get naked
EBut I jumped on a Dgreyhound bus one night
AAnd took it all the way to the A7end of the line
Stepped Eout in the sun, Dwhen my feet hit the sand
WAhat a long strange trip
[Chorus]
I spent my Ewhole life Drunning arAound
Still let the Ewind kind of Dblow me aAround
Well I dropped a Enote in a Dbottle
ATo a long-legged A7model
And I Etraded it in for a Dwhole another world
AA pirate flag and an island girl
[Intro]
[Verse 2]
Well my Efriends back home think DI've gone and lost my mind
ATake a sip of rum and A7you really would know why
EJolly Roger flying on Dthe picnic table
ABlender in the kitchen, willing and able
EDon't know what makes you Dsay what the hell
ABut when the salt air catches a A7hold of that sail
ESomething about it makes her Djust want to dance
AAnd she loves to dance
[Chorus]
I spent my Ewhole life Drunning arAound
Still let the Ewind kind of Dblow me aAround
Well I dropped a Enote in a Dbottle
ATo a long-legged A7model
And I Etraded it in for a Dwhole another world
AA pirate flag and an island girl
[Post Chorus??]

[Bridge]
GWell I remember back home beneath the big old moon
ATucked back in the woods, yeah life was good
GBut here we are in a local bar and Adrinking shooting stars
[Outro]
I might spend my Ewhole life Drunning aAround
Still let the Ewind kind of Dblow me aAround
Well I dropped a Enote in a Dbottle
ATo a long-legged A7model
And I Etraded it in for a Dwhole another world

[Verse 1]

E D

Well I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town

A A7

Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around

E D

Moonshine, that's where they make it

Put it in a jug, makes you want to get naked

E D

But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night

A A7

And took it all the way to the end of the line

E D

Stepped out in the sun, when my feet hit the sand

What a long strange trip

[Chorus]

E D A

I spent my whole life running around

E D A

Still let the wind kind of blow me around

E D

Well I dropped a note in a bottle

A A7

To a long-legged model

E D

And I traded it in for a whole another world

A pirate flag and an island girl

[Intro]

[Verse 2]

E D

Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind

A A7

Take a sip of rum and you really would know why

E D

Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table

Blender in the kitchen, willing and able

E D

Don't know what makes you say what the hell

A A7

But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail

E D

Something about it makes her just want to dance

And she loves to dance

[Chorus]

E D A

I spent my whole life running around

E D A

Still let the wind kind of blow me around

E D

Well I dropped a note in a bottle

A A7

To a long-legged model

E D

And I traded it in for a whole another world

A pirate flag and an island girl

[Post Chorus??]

E D A

A pirate flag and an island girl

E D A

[Bridge]

Well I remember back home beneath the big old moon

Tucked back in the woods, yeah life was good

G A

But here we are in a local bar and drinking shooting stars

[Outro]

E D A

I might spend my whole life running around

E D A

Still let the wind kind of blow me around

E D

Well I dropped a note in a bottle

A A7

To a long-legged model

E D

And I traded it in for a whole another world

A pirate flag and an island girl

A pirate flag and an island girl

A pirate flag and an island girl
