Fool's Paradise

(álbum: The Honky Tonk Kid - 2004)

I've got this Caribbean queen
Rubbing in my coconut sunscreen
You'd think you'd be the last thing on my mind
I've got a beautiful ocean view
Ten thousand miles from you
So why couldn't I leave this broken heart behind

Oh the sunshine is dancing on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep telling myself
I'm having the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise

Well I keep on telling me
There's other fish in the sea
But your memory keeps reminding me I'm wrong
There's a party 'bout every night
And I should be out doing it up right
Instead of watching re-runs of Gilligan's Island all alone (all night long)

Oh the moonlight is dancing on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep telling myself
I'm having the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise

This time next week I'll be headed to Texas On a big jet airplane
Oh when I get home you know this broken heart is gonna hit me like a hurricane

Oh the sunshine is dancing on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep telling myself
I'm having the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise
