The Keys Lyrics by Matt Duncan

Soft Times

2013

[Verse 1]
Everybody's leaving soon
I can hear that rambling tune
From the pool hall or any shopping mall
We're going crazy as a loon
Tell me where we're gonna go
Where there's no sorrow, there's no snow
Pack your suitcase light, we're gonna leave tonight
'Cause I think I might just know
[Chorus]
Oh, if I lose it
I'm gonna move it
Down to the Keys
Maybe Idaho's not for me
Don't need no jacket
If you can't hack it
You better come with me
Down to the Keys
[Verse 2]
There's a place down by the beach
Where you can buy a peach
Hear any Buffett tune if it's after noon
And you promise not to preach
There's a bar down by the pier
Where I like to buy my beer
And I can pay my tab with the gift of gab
While the tourists shuffle through
[Chorus]
Oh, if I lose it
I'm gonna move it
Down to the Keys
Maybe Idaho's not for me
Don't need no jacket
If you can't hack it
You better come with me
Down to the Keys, down to the Keys
[Verse 3]
Mr. Gore don't lie, when the tide is high
And we're swallowed by the sea
Gonna float on down to the promised land
Where the healthcare will be free
[Chorus]
Oh, if I lose it
I'm gonna move it
Down to the Keys
Maybe Idaho's not for me
Don't need no jacket
If you can't hack it
You better come with me
Down to the Keys, down to the Keys
