Where the Palm Trees Grow Billy Strings

I'm exhausted but so is my drink, thanks for hearin' my spiel
Well I've done this before and the evenin' is worn at the heels
But a new day is comin' I'll soon awake to find my surprise
Well you know I feel lucky when I see myself in your eyes

There's a wide world and ocean waves ten feet tall
There's a moon up in the sky
Now the snow covered mountain's given me the call
I can't help but wonder why

Would you live where the palm trees grow but thе pine trees don't?
Yeah swimmin' in the ocеan, clearing all that salt from your throat
Say goodbye at the station, send me to Michigan I say
With me and my friends pickin' guitars and singin' all day

I could stick around for one more, you don't have to twist my arm
I'm sure that a few more tokes wouldn't do me no harm
If it's all set in stone, then I ain't gonna handle the wheel
That's the way that I'm feelin' but that's just the way I feel

There's a wide world and ocean waves ten feet tall
There's a moon up in the sky
Now the snow covered mountain's given me the call
I can't help but wonder why

Am I still here? Well I guess I got time to waste
I've had so much beer that my insides have turned into paste
Now it ain't the last time, and it damn sure ain't the first
That's the price that I'm payin' to get drunk and quench my thirst
