[Verse 1]
Been around and over all this great big land
And in the forest where the wild bears run
Been rolling with the stars with a shield four-ice
And been sitting in the midnight sun
Been standing in a circle near the northern pole
There isn't much I haven't seen or done
But one of them's sitting on the beach in Island Town
Banging coconuts in the sun
[Chorus 1]
Try to get a place upon the Weastern-bound
The smoke already out in sight
Jump aboard and we'll be halfway there
Before it gets too light
[Verse 2]
Midday moon beating down
Black hills off to thе right
Followed them down along the clouds
Disappеaring into the night
On my knee were those directions
And a map, intentions none
Except to get to that beach in Island Town
Bang coconuts in the sun
[Chorus 2]
Try to get a place upon the Weastern-bound
The smoke already out in sight
Jump aboard and we'll be halfway there
Before it gets too light
[Verse 3]
Amidst the swaying pines and a thousand lakes
Northern promise at one of her heights
Disconnected oil pipe, didn't get so warm no more
Since the corporation bought the rights
And I remember the words you told me
At the front gate when I had to run
Don't forget to send a line from Island Town
Between banging coconuts in the sun
[Chorus 3]
I'll be waiting for your card or call
Or maybe something like a photograph
Or a bottle of sun-tan all
Or anything at oil from Island Town
