Verse
 
C
Driving down the interstate

Running thirty minutes late
                           G
Singing Margaritaville and minding my own

Some foreign car driver dude with the road rage 
attitude
                                   C
Pulled up beside me talking on his cell phone
F                                   C
He started yelling at me like I did something wrong
F                                       G
He flipped me the bird an' then he was gone

Chorus

F
Some beach
C
Somewhere
G                                            C
There's a big umbrella casting shade over a empty chair
F
Palm trees are growing and a warm breezes a blowing
                       C
I picture myself right there
G              C
On Some beach, somewhere


(Lyrics Continued...)

I circled the parking lot trying to find a spot
Just big enough I could park my old truck
A man with a big cigar was getting into his car
I stopped and I waited for him to back up
From out of no where a Mercedes Benz
Came cruising up and whipped right in

Some beach
Somewhere
There's no where to go when you got all day to get there
There's cold margaritas and hot Senioritas smiling with 
long dark hair
On some beach
Somewhere

I sat in that waiting room
It seemed like all afternoon
The nurse finally said doc's ready for you
you're not gonna feel a thing we'll give you some novocain
That tooth will be fine in a minute or two
But he stuck that needle down deep in my gum
And he started drilling before I was numb

Some beach
Somewhere
There's a beautiful sunset burning up that atsmosphere
There's music and dancing and lovers romancing
In the salty evening air
On some beach
Somewhere
On some beach, somewhere

My brother said that I, was rotten to the core.

I guess she was tired by, the time I came along.
D      D/F#   G             Em7              A
She'd laugh until she cried, I could do no wrong.
Em7                     A                  D
She would always save me, because I was her baby.
 
               Bm                    G
I worked a factory in Ohio, a shrimp boat in the Bayou,
D                         A
I drove a truck in Birmingham.
        Bm                  G
Turned 21 in Cincinnati,I called home to mom and daddy,
D                          A
I said "Your boy is now a man."
             Em7                     A                      
She said "I don't care if you're 80, you'll always be my 
D
baby."
 
 
D      D/F#  G            A               D
She loved that photograph, of our whole family.

She'd always point us out, for all her friends to see.

              Em7          A                   D
And that one's kinda crazy, but that one is my baby.
 
         Bm                            G
I got a call in Alabama, said come on home to Louisianna 
D                            A
and come as fast as you can fly.
              Bm                         G
Cause your momma really needs you, and says she's got to 
see you, 
D                                   A
she might not make it through the night.
        Em7               A                    D
The whole way I drove 80, so she could see her baby.
 
      Bm                                  G
She looked like she was sleepin' and my family had been 
weepin' 
D                              A
by the time that I got to her side.
        Bm                                  G
And I knew that she'd been taken, and my heart it was 
breakin', 
D                     A
I never got to say goodbye.
Em7                            
I softly kissed that lady, and cried just like a baby.
