How'd I Wind Up In Jamaica Lyrics - Byrd Tracy

(Casey Beathard/Michael Heeney) 

Sign said cold beer, I pulled in there 

Pulled up a chair, to have just one 

Now my head hurts, got this sun burn 

Oh what on earth, have I done 

How'd I wind up in Jamaica 

Washed up like some lost cast away 

How did one round of beer lead to me laying here 

On this bed of sand in Montego Bay 

Don't I know you, ain't you the girl who 

I was talking to, back at the bar 

Your dress was light green and I had on blue jeans 

Tell me what's it mean, when we don't know where we are 

How'd I wind up in Jamaica 

Was it your wild hair or was it mine 

Oh I barely remember, you cussing December 

As you passed me that salt and the lime 

It's been a year now, we're still here now 

All settled down, might not go back again 

Like a couple of beach bums, we hardly work much 

Still ask each other every now and then 

How'd we wind up in Jamaica 

Was it your wild hair or was it mine 

Oh who cares it don't matter we're happy ever after 

Now pass me that salt and the lime 

Got it made here in Jamaica 

Wouldn't have it any other way 

To this day it ain't clear all I know is we're here 

On this bed of sand in Montego Bay
