What do you think?

It needs music, maybe by Kenny Chesney, and I think it could be a big hit.

47 Minutes South-Southeast

Let’s head out to that one place we all wanna go, a place where friends watch dolphin jump, they put on a show.

It’s a place not too far away, it’s that one place that one day, take a trip down A1A.

You know, that one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.

That one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet.  

That one place where the palm trees give you shade in your hammock seat.

That one place where all our good friends go to meet.

That one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.

 Jimmy Buffet had it right,  we all want a cheeseburger in paradise on a Livingston Saturday night, second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning.

While Otis was sittin’ on the dock of the bay watching the ships roll in and “Bluzman” whistled away, another guy took a magic carpet ride in a dream right between the sound machine.

There’s that place beyond the reef, where we can meet, 47 minutes south-southeast.

That one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet.  

That one place where the palm trees give you shade in your hammock seat.

That one place where all our good friends go to meet.

That one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.

It’s time to put the Blue Chair on the bow, adjust those RayBans, get ready to go.

The sun’s still shining, high and bright, manatees popping up on the left and on the right.

We’re headed out to that one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet, 47 minutes south-southeast.

That one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet.  

That one place where the palm trees give you shade in your hammock seat.

That one place where all our good friends go to meet.

That one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.

Take a sip, sing a song, hug your friend, move along.

Stay the course, it’s not far now to that place where palm trees shade your hammock seat.

It’s not far now, where all our good friends go to meet.

It’s just right there beyond that reef, here we are 47 minutes south-southeast.

That one place where the sand is always warm and soft beneath your feet.  

That one place where the palm trees give you shade in your hammock seat.

That one place where all our good friends go to meet.

That one place beyond the reef, 47 minutes south-southeast.
