Come Away To Belize With Me Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

Chorus: 

Hey come away to Belize with me, show you how simple life can be 

Long hazy days in the sun, 

Where it seems everyone has a smile when we meet 

Under blue skies and emerald seas, warm winds and those coconut trees 

They say your heart never leaves, once you've been down to Belize 

In daylight the sunlight chases the grey lights of lingering night 

Down by the beach a lone heron he keeps 

His eye on the fish and the tide 

But I hear the boats, of the fisherman going to the flats where the bonefishes run 

And the folks of San Pedro, all driving the same road, start their long day in the sun 

Chorus 

So, let's get a boat, and some snorkels and go on out to the reef 

We'll leave the fat folks, who wear shoes and white socks with cameras back on the beach 

There's no pain or sorrow, down by the coral and Susan and Brownie and me 

And we'll fish by the reef, for some snappers to eat, as we race the ray back to the beach 

Chorus 

So at sunset we'll go sit, way out on the old deck, till the pink light is gone 

From a funky old bar, I can hear a guitar playing, playing a down island song 

The moon on the water, the pina colada, something you just gotta see 

And that's when you start to notice your heart, has fallen in love with Belize 

Chorus
