Kenny Chesney - Pirate Flag

Well, I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town
Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around
Moonshine, that's where they make it
Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night
And took it all the way to the end of the line
Stepped down in the sun when my feet hit the sand
What a long strange trip

I spent my whole life running around (running around)
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well, I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl

Well, my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why
Jolly Roger flying on a picnic table
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
Don't know what makes you say, "What the hell"
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
Something 'bout it makes her just wanna dance
And she loves to dance

I spent my whole life running around (running around)
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well, I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
Pirate flag and an island girl (island girl)

Well, I remember back home 'neath the big ol' moon
Tucked back in the woods, yeah, life was good
But here we are at a local bar and drinkin' shootin' stars

I might spend my whole life running around (running around)
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
