Locals Only Lyrics by ERNEST

Locals Only

2019

[Verse 1]
I wanna go somewhere we can keep it on the left side
And get our heads right over some Mai Tai's
Watching the high tide, sitting fireside under the moon
Honey, I ain’t the jealous type
I just sit back and smile and let the sun smooch on you
The weatherman tells us no worries on the tele
And there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do to be

[Chorus]
In a low key, locals only
Little bamboo, run-down rum shack
(It’s) you and me baby, nobody can phone me
Yeah, we’re way off the grid, no, we don’t need a map
‘Cause I know this island like I know your curves
I done found myself at the edge of the earth
Where nobody knows me, and we’re never lonely
Locals only

[Verse 2]
I wanna pick up a couple cups of coffee on the west side
Bring it back to your bedside
Plant a forehead kiss above your left eye
Waiting on a red sky fire through the dunes
No, you ain’t seen a rise till you seen it on an island
And ain’t felt freedom till you’ve taken a dive in
—The crystal blue and that sea foam green
Under a sherbet canopy, you’ll find me

[Chorus]
In a low key, locals only
Little bamboo, run-down rum shack
(It’s) you and me baby, nobody can phone me
Yeah, we’re way off the grid, no, we don’t need a map
‘Cause I know this island like I know your curves
I done found myself at the edge of the earth
Where nobody knows me, and we’re never lonely
Locals only
Locals only

I could use some catch-up time with my creator
Yeah, I got my bags packed, I’ll see you later
I’ll be

[Chorus]
In a low key, locals only
Little bamboo, run-down rum shack
(It’s) you and me baby, nobody can phone me
Yeah, we’re way off the grid, no, we don’t need a map
‘Cause I know this island like I know your curves
I done found myself at the edge of the earth
Where nobody knows me, and we’re never lonely
Locals only
Locals only

[Outro]
Yeah I wanna go somewhere we can keep it on the left side
And get our heads right over some Mai Tai's
Watching the high tide, sitting fireside under the moon
Locals only
Locals only
