Private Island

* co-written with Dan Rivers *
Dog days and damn I’m ready
Fire up my rusty Chevy
I know where I need to be
Just a ragtag riverbank but
Layin’ back with the music cranked up
Sure feels like Waikiki to me
Don’t need no reservations no black tie invitation
It’s a good time right time anytime guaranteed
Call up CMT they got to see my private island
Redneck VIPs in cut off jeans my private island
Woah ohh where the sweet sunshine don’t cost a dime no
Woah ohh it’s a state of mind my private island
It’s a place out past the asphalt
No pilots planes or passports
TSA won’t slow us down
Little sand and a whole lotta’ dirt
A little Tim McGraw can’t hurt
Poppin’ PBRs and losin’ count
Ain’t got but a couple dollars don’t think much ‘bout tomorrow
Suns out guns out right here and now
Call up CMT they got to see my private island
Redneck VIPs in cutoff jeans my private island
Woah ohh where the sweet sunshine don’t cost a dime no
Woah ohh it’s a state of mind my private island
The map don’t show it but we know where to go
A piece of paradise at the end of a gravel road
