Down On Longboat Key Lyrics - 40 Hour Week - Alabama

She sits and stares out the window at the water 

Every night down at Longy's Cafe 

All alone she sips her Pina Colada 

Talking to herself dreaming time away 

The story is that a dark haired sailor 

Stole her heart many years ago 

He promised her he'd come back and take her 

Around the world, bring her hills of gold 

Down on Longboat Key 

Where the island sand meets the gulf stream breeze 

Down on Longboat Key 

She spends her life in a dream 

On Longboat Key 

Down on Longboat Key 

Down on Longboat Key

Each afternoon as the smelt boats comes in 

She runs to meet them down at the pier 

She sees the fishermen, the nets and the sunset 

But she don't see him, her eyes fill with tears 

She stands there looking at the crystal blue water 

And in the coral she imagine pearls 

She makes believe he brought them all the way from China 

Then the water swirls 

The blue green water swirls 

Down on Longboat Key 

Where the island sand meets the gulf stream breeze 

Down on Longboat Key 

She spends her life in a dream 

On Longboat Key 

Down on Longboat Key 

Down on Longboat Key

Young sailors makes a play to take her home 

She says, No, I'm already taken. 

Oh, they just laugh when she mentions his name 

She keeps on waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting 

Down on Longboat Key 

Where the island sand meets the gulf stream breeze 

Down on Longboat Key 

She spends her life in a dream 

Down on Longboat Key (Down on Longboat Key) 

Down on Longboat Key, yeah, yeah 

Down on Longboat Key (down on Longboat 

Where the island sand meets the gulf stream breeze 

Down on Longboat Key (Down on Longboat Key) 

Down on Longboat Key, yeah, yeah 

Down on Longboat Key...
