Life On A Rock

Kenny Chesney Life On A Rock Lyrics
1.Pirate Flag

Lyricist:Ross Copperman, David Lee Murphy
Writer(s):Ross Copperman, David Lee Murphy

Well I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town,
Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around.
Moonshine, that's where they make it,
Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked.
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night
And took it all the way to the end of the line.
Stepped out in the sun, when my feet hit the sand
What a long strange trip

I spent my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl

Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
Take a sip of rum and you really wouldn't know why
Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
Don't know what makes you say What the hell
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
Something 'bout it makes her just wanna dance
And she loves to dance

I spent my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
Pirate flag and an island girl

I remember back home 'neath the big olE


2.When I See This Bar

Lyricist:Kenny Chesney, Keith Gattis
Writer(s):Kenny Chesney, Keith Gattis

Well I see the souls of so many friends,
And I see us all back here again.
With sandy floors and ceiling fans,
A Rastafarian one-man band with songs
That fill my memories like a tip jar.
Yeah, that's what I see
When I see this bar.

I see tourists at Christmas time,
And I taste beers with a hint of lime.
I feel lonely cause it's not the same,
Different faces and different names,
Living like pirates out among the stars.
Yeah, that's what I see
When I see this bar.

Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.

And I see a kid coming into his own
And a man learning to move on.
Somehow trying to find his way,
A dreamer betting on blind faith
Chasing that sun and following his heart.
Yeah, that's what I see
When I see this bar.

Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.

A few have moved on back to Maine,
Jacksonville and Key Biscayne.
Some are still living the dream,
Stuck in still life it seems.
No matter where they've been,
Or where they are,
Yeah, I see 'em here
When I see this bar.
When I see this bar.

I wonder where we go from here
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
Life ain't over but it's always near
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
I think about all the good times that we had
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
It makes me happy and it makes me sad
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
How could we be so close, now so far apart
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
That's what I feel, that's what I see
Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars
That's what I see when I see this bar

That's what I see when I see this bar

All God's children we got to come together
And share the good feeling,
Cause nothing ever gonna make this world better
If we don't start believing,
That love really really really is the answer
Just like a wise man said.
Let the night come to see us, the music come free us
And let's start drifting away.

Leave all our problems behind now, no worries.
Everybody join hands cause it's time now, now.
(It's time to)
Spread the love, spread the love,
All over the world.
All God's people,
Spread the love, spread the love,
All over the world.
All over the world.

All my brothers and sisters, ain't nobody can tell us,
That this planet is falling apart (No no no)
If we just love each other (If we just love each other)
And lift up one another
Shout out loud from every heart.

Leave all our troubles behind now (no worries, no worries)
Everybody join hands cause it's time now, now.
(It's time to)
Spread the love, spread the love,
All over the world.
All God's people,
Spread the love, spread the love,
All over the world.
Spread it all over the world.
(Spread it all over the world)
We got to spread the love.
(We got to spread the love, spread the love)

Love is the ticket, the train it will take us.
No one can stop us, nobody will break us.
Follow the rhythm that leads us to Heaven tonight.

Leave all our troubles behind now, now
Everybody join hands cause it's time now, now, now
(We got to)
Spread the love, spread the love,
All over the world.
All God's people,
Spread the love, spread the love,
All over the world.
All God's children,
Spread the love, spread the love,
All over the world.
We've got to spread the love.
(Yea yea yea yea yea yea)

Love is the ticket, the train it will take us.
No one can stop us, nobody will break us.
Follow the rhythm that leads us to Heaven tonight.


4.Lindy

Lyricist:Kenny Chesney
Writer(s):Kenny Chesney

Lindy strolls around

Down main streets
Down side streets
Makin his way through town he picks up pennies
Saves 'em for a rainy day
With callous feet he makes his way to see the sun sink in the
bay

Lindy strolls around and around and around
Around and around and around
He plays piano at the church when nobody's watchin'
Takes cigarettes from strangers and sometimes you see Him
talkin' to
himself, laughin' to himself
Lindy strolls around and around and around
Around and around and around

Lindy's seen it all
Storms and hurricanes
Some say he's insane
No one knows his last name
But I believe
He's the salt of the Earth
Just look past his dirty shirt and you will see just what he's
worth

Lindy strolls around and around and around
Around and around and around
He plays piano at the church when nobody's watchin'
Takes cigarettes from strangers and sometimes you see
him talkin' to himself, laughin' to himself
Lindy strolls around and around and around
Around and around and around


He plays piano at the church when nobody's watchin'
Takes cigarettes from strangers and sometimes you see
Him talkin' to himself, laughin' to himself
Lindy strolls around and around and around
Around and around and around

Lindy strolls around and around and around


5.Coconut Tree(With Willie Nelson)

Lyricist:Casey Beathard, Michael White, Monty Criswell
Writer(s):Casey Beathard, Michael White, Monty Criswell

Everybody's got a place they go
When the old battery gets running low.
I'm a sucker for the sand and sea, yea
If I had my way, hey I'd always be

Way up high in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High up in a coconut tree

Not to green, not too brown,
I shimmy up and I shake the good ones down.
Coconuts, a couple of bucks a piece
And you can do alright if you ain't afraid to be

High in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree

Yeah, there's less stress and the world's alright
It's a different point of view
When you're looking at life

Way up high in a coconut tree
(Layin' low) low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High up in a coconut

High in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree

High in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree

Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree

Sunny sky as far as I can see
High up in a coconut tree
Up here with Willie
Sunny sky as far as I can see
Let's get high in a coconut tree


6.It's That Time Of Day

Lyricist:Kenny Chesney
Writer(s):Kenny Chesney

It's that time of day
That we all knew would come
To pay for all the rum
And pull up anchor cause we're done
It's that time of day
I see a cotton candy sky
So many colors in my eyes
Proof again God's alive

This ain't a goodbye
It's a 'till I see you again'
What a wonderful time
We've all shared my friends
Another day at sea
Has come and gone away
So adios to Jost
Adios to Jost
Adios to Jost
It's that time of day

It's that time of day
When we bottle up the sun
Let our inhibitions run
Feeling courageous and numb
It's that time of day
When we take a leap of faith
Hand in hand as we pray
In this moment we could stay

This ain't a goodbye
It's a 'till I see you again'
What a wonderful time
We've all shared my friends
Another day at sea
Has come and gone away
So adios to Jost
Adios to Jost
Adios to Jost
It's that time of day

Adios to Jost
Adios to Jost
Adios to Jost
It's that time of day

I see sails in silhouette
A sailor's sky turning red
So many I love you's said
Toasts are made
It's that time of day
It's that time of day
It's that time of day

Adios to Jost
Adios to Jost
Adios to Jost
It's that time of day


7.Life On A Rock

Lyricist:Kenny Chesney
Writer(s):Kenny Chesney

Some say we're the land of misfit toys,
An insane mix of girls and boys.
Nothing really changes, like a stretch of sand time forgot.

That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea.

Well you don't lose your lover, you just lose your turn.
Drivin' on the left side gotta be learned.
Happy hours from 3 to 6 but it never really stops.

That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea.

We got Rasta religions, and parrots and pigeons,
Mango and salt on a stick.
Life is a lime and from time to time,
I gotta go get my fix, yea

We roll with the flow, friends come and go
Usually by the edge of the dock.

That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea.
Oh, I love livin', I love livin'
I love livin' life on a rock, yea.

Life on a rock
Yea yea
Yea yea
I love livin'
Life on a rock


8.Marley

Lyricist:Kenny Chesney, Tom Douglas
Writer(s):Kenny Chesney, Tom Douglas

I've seen so many places and so many faces,
Left behind so many traces of my soul.
I carry all these voices with the ringing in my ears,
Some girl's tears and the rhythm of the road.
Sometimes my life takes more than I can give.
That's when I gotta go

Where no one's around
But the silence and the sound
Of 'Three Little Birds' for company.
I got a sip of something strong,
A secondhand 'Old Man and the Sea',
Out here with me,
Me and Marley,
Me and Marley

God knows I love my life and I thank Him every night
But sometimes I feel the knife of responsibility.
And the struggle and the strife, what's wrong and what's right
Has got me searching for the light and my place of peace.

Where no one's around
But the silence and the sound
Of 'Three Little Birds' for company.
I got a sip of something strong,
A secondhand 'Old Man and the Sea',
Out here with me,
Me and Marley,
Me and Marley

We all live in chaos, noise and negativity
But I still believe in one love bigger than you and me,
You and me,
You and me and Marley,
You and me and Marley

I hear redemption's song,
A whisper on the sea,
Out here with me,
Out here with me,
Me and Marley,
Me and Marley,
Me and Marley,
Me and Marley

I hear redemption's song,
Me and Marley,
Me and Marley


9.Must Be Something I Missed

Lyricist:Kenny Chesney, Mac McAnally
Writer(s):Kenny Chesney, Mac McAnally

There must be something I missed
I wake up in the morning just makin' a fist
I don't call it living, I just exist
There must be something I missed

Yeah, there must be something I need
Something in a cage that wants to be free
I should be happy but yes indeed
There must be something I need

Yeah, we live and learn, crash and burn
'Til it's our turn again
It's the way it's always been
Oh whoa oh
Why can't I just let go?
I told me so I oughta know by now
It all comes down to this

Yeah, there must be something I missed
Yeah, there must be something I missed
I wake up in the morning just makin' a fist
I don't call it living, I just exist
There must be something I missed

Yeah, there must be something I crave
I try to be good but I misbehave, well
Maybe I'm too far gone to save
There must be something I crave

Yeah, we live and learn, crash and burn
'Til it's our turn again
It's the way it's always been
Oh whoa oh
Why can't I just let go?
I told me so I oughta know by now
It all comes down to this

Yeah, there must be something I missed
Yeah, there must be something I missed
Yeah, there must be something I missed


10.Happy On The Hey Now(A Song For Kristi)

Lyricist:Kenny Chesney
Writer(s):Kenny Chesney

Your spirit will live here forever,
The sea will echo your gypsy soul.
You will always bring us together, this much I know.
Oh, your smile was as big as this island,
You could drown in your eyes of blue.
You were friend of a friend and someone, I'm glad I knew.

I'll always see you dancing, up there on the bow
Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now.
And you'll live with us as long as, memories stay alive,
And you left us with so many, Kristi
You will never die... never die...
You will never die... never die...

I hope time can be our healer, maybe time can be a friend,
Still I'm a strong believer, someday we'll see you again,
Where the sun is on our faces and the wind is at our back,
Sailing south to our favorite places, where the water's calm and
flat.

'Til then we'll always see you dancing, up there on the bow
Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now.
And you'll live with us as long as, memories stay alive,
And you left us with so many, Kristi
You will never die... never die...

Our circle of friends, we're sad that you're gone,
We celebrate your life with stories and a song.
Somehow you will keep us strong.

And we'll always see you dancing, up there on the bow
Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now.
And you'll live with us as long as, memories stay alive,
And you left us with so many, Kristi
You will never die... never die...
(Left us with so many, Kristi)
You will never die... never die...
(Left us with so many, Kristi...)

Left us with so many, Kristi
