Gene Mitchell Tropical Country lyrics

Verse 1
I like the steel drums playing with the steel guitar
I go to honky-tonks and to tiki bars
I like girls in bikinis and wearing tight blue jeans
I like the fiddle playing with marimba thrown in
And a conga drum beat behind the mandolin
I was raised in the country
But still love the sound of the sea

Chorus
I wear a cowboy hat with my bathing suit
I'm just a country boy who likes to sit under a palm tree
I'm not all mixed up, I just like my music
Tropical Country

Verse 2
I like the Beach Boys' songs about California
I dig the Zac Brown Band, way down in Georgia
Alan Jackson singing "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere"
And Jimmy Buffett, all of his songs, I know
I like Toby Keith's "Good to go to Mexico"
I was raised in the country
But still love the smell of salty air

Chorus
I wear a cowboy hat with my bathing suit
I'm just a country boy who likes to sit under a palm tree
I'm not all mixed up, I just like my music
Tropical Country


Bridge
I take my rum and my beer, both with a slice of lime
I love tropical drinks, still like the taste of moonshine
I drink tequila shots, take my whiskey on the rocks
And groove on Kenny Chesney
And I take my music, Tropical Country

Instrumental

Verse 3
"Two Pina Coladas," one for each hand
Garth Brooks sang it, you can understand
Every now and then you've got to
Get to a beach somewhere
There's a guaranteed way to bring back your smile
But if you can't go to some tropical isle
Just close your eyes and let a good song take you there

Chorus
I wear a cowboy hat with my bathing suit
I'm just a country boy who likes to sit under a palm tree
I'm not all mixed up, I just like my music
Tropical Country

I'm not all mixed up, I just like my music
