Key West Lyrics - Singles - This Frontier Needs Heroes

She's as pretty, pretty as a lioness 

and like a lion I tamed her myself 

I walked right up and said "Hey you'll never guess!" 

It's a beautiful sunset, as south as you can get. 

but I never had a home 

that I could call my own 

so I guess I'm gonna have to roam or build a nest 

Tonight will be Key West 

She laughed at first, and so I smiled back 

Then I asked her "What do you think about that?" 

we are closer to Cuba, then the U.S. 

Where people make all their money waiting for shipwrecks 

And there used to be a train 

all the way from Maine 

but then a hurricane wiped it out, 

and its never been the same 

Hemingway really loved his cats 

Polydactyl now you try saying that or Jimmy Buffetts hats 

he put them in his will, kicked his wife right out 

The old man and the sea, or good old hunter s. 

But I'm not here for myself, 

I really just wanna help 

to try and be just blessed 

you and me should start a really good business 

You won't have to worry cause here it never frosts 

so we can sleep outside under the spanish moss 

that's when I started to detect a subtle pause 

when in my mind all i heard was applause 

Well why don't we invest 

in all the world's homeless 

and put our ills to rest 

i betcha that would be the best 

or hitchike our way to Key west.
