When I pay my bills

Gonna leave these Tennessee hills

Take my lady to the sea

That's where we both come from

That's where we both belong

Think I'll go back to the Keys.



[Chorus:]

'Cause I don't want the thing that brings confusion

Where people recognize you on a plane

All I want's the quiet and the comforts

That livin' with my lovely lady brings.



Somehow we survived the double talk and jive

Things are looking better all the time

I owe her all I can 'cause she made me understand

The simple way that we should live our lives.



[Chorus]



Let me tell you now she can eat her own weight up in crab meat

And there's plenty of that down there by the sea

Well, we're sailing in those warm December breezes

Sendin' picture post cards back to Tennessee.



[Chorus]
