Portugal Or PEI

(album: Equal Strain On All Parts - 2023)

I guess that I was born
With that nomad gene
There's very little of this planet
That I have not seen
Everybody's on a soapbox
Influencers and phones
TikTok Tommy Rock 'round the clock
But I'm still thinking Rolling Stones

So, where'm I gonna go
When the volcanos blow?
Everybody's asking
All the time
Contemplating Malpeque Bay
Or a beach bar near Sagres
I'm sure I'll find a way
Till then, I'll be in the conga line

A pub in Portugal or PEI
Laying low or staying high
I've got my good friends close
And trouble far away
Music on a beach
Called "Singing Sand"
No big deal, no master plan
We'll be all right, come Monday

I'll hopscotch 'cross the ocean
On friendly archipelago
Where women sing to Gaia
And the marijuana grows

I'm thinking Garden of the Gulf
Where the Portuguese fished long ago
Speak a little Mi'kmaq when I can
And in Cavendish
Do the do-si-do

Where'm I gonna go
When the volcanos blow?
Everybody's asking
All the time
Contemplating Malpeque Bay
Or a beach bar near Sagres
I'm sure I'll find a way
Till then, I'll be in the conga line

A pub in Portugal or PEI
Laying low or staying high
I've got my good friends close
And trouble far away
Music on a beach
Called "Singing Sand"
No big deal, no master plan
We'll be all right, come Monday

Everybody's on a soapbox
And there's way too many phones
Everybody's playing TikTok Tommy Rock
And I still love the Rolling Stones
Life is always better
When you add a little island
A lot of oysters, love and wine
Maybe a pub on PEI
With somebody singing in Portuguese
On the sandbar, feel the ocean breeze
Right now, that sounds real good to me
I really like those possibilities

Till then, I'll be in the conga line
Where'm I gonna go?
Till then, I'll be in the conga line
Where'm I gonna go?
Till then, I'll be in the conga line
Where'm I gonna go?
Till then, I'll be in the conga line
Where'm I gonna go?
Where'm I gonna go?
