We've been here a week or so,
Now it's finally time to go.
Can't believe how quickly time has flown,
Packin' up the bathin' suits,
Getting out the cowboy boots,
That's a sign we must be going home....
Time just stopped for a little while,
We were part of a tiny island.
Made a lot of friends we'll keep for life.
When we get back home to Texas,
And they ask us what we missed most,
I'll shrug my shoulders, and I'll smile....
Early mornings on the long boat dock,
Drinkin' coffee as the sun comes up
Lazy days napping in the big deck chair.
Late night dancing in the front street bar,
Walking home underneath the stars,
Man it's like some dream we live down here....
Last night we ate conch and lobster.
Mark said it was his favorite dinner,
Maybe even the best one of his life.
Dining underneath the stars
Chilean wine and Cuban cigars,
I smiled at him and said you could be right....
And he got real quiet, and he said you know,
hell I worked hard all my life,
I made a lot of dough.
I've been everywhere,
I don't think it gets any better than down here.
I mean the warmth and love of the people here,
No crime, no hate, or fear
I don't think I'm ready for the world waiting for me back there....
I need me just....
One more morning on the long boat dock,
Drinking coffee as the sun comes up,
Drinking bilikin beer in the big deck chair.
Late night dancin' in a front street bar,
Makin' love under the stars,
Man it's like some dream we live down here....
Walking home underneath the stars,
Hearing voices from that empty bar,
Man it's like some dream we live done there....
We've been here a week or so,
Now it's finally time to go.
Can't believe how quickly time as flown.
Packin' up the bathin' suits,
gettin' out the cowboy boots,
That's a sign we must be goin' home....
Jerry Jeff Walker, born Ronald Clyde Crosby, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist who achieved great success in the 1970s. Also known as Gypsy Songman, he made a significant impact on the country, country rock, folk rock, and rock and roll music scenes. His music, often characterized by ironic lyrics and stories of lived experience, won over a large and loyal audience. Among his most famous songs are "Mr. Bojangles", a ballad that tells the story of a street dancer, and "Desperados Waiting for a Train", a song that became a classic of the outlaw country genre. Walker was also an important collaborator with other artists such as Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, contributing to defining the outlaw country musical style. His influence on American music is still evident today.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
