I Traded Tulsa For a Tiki Bar
00:00 / 03:23
hey bud i'm callin' from ol' barefoot joe's
i'm down here chillin' where the palm trees grow
i'll spend my days on this snow white sand
i'll watch the sunset with a drink in my hand
won't need your bestman speech or toast with ___ champagne
my bride to be ran off with her old flame
so i traded tulsa for a tiki bar
i thought that i could use some r&r
'cause this new heartache just might leave a scar
yeah, one hell of a scar
but don't you worry none, i'm doin' fine
i get my daily dose of salt and lime
good tequila's workin' great so far
i traded tulsa for a tiki bar
still can't believe the way she said goodbye
sent a picture with this other guy
text said 'sorry but now he's the one'
she's in ___ for three nights of fun
that's when i bought my ticket to this paradise
boarded and ordered rum and coke on ice
i traded tulsa for a tiki bar
i thought that i could use some r&r
'cause this new heartache just might leave a scar
yeah, one hell of a scar
but don't you worry none, i'm doin' fine
i get my daily dose of salt and lime
good tequila's workin' great so far
i traded tulsa for a tiki bar
yes, i'm havin' a good time once again on my own
not quite sure i'll ever come home
but i'll live it up 'til all my money's gone
__ repasado warm my soul like a song
i traded tulsa for a tiki bar
i thought that i could use some r&r
'cause this new heartache just might leave a scar
yeah, one hell of a scar
but don't you worry none, i'm doin' finei get my daily dose of salt and lime
good tequila's workin' great so far
i traded tulsa for a tiki bar
yeah, good tequila's workin' great so far
i traded tulsa for a tiki bar
