I've been bustin' my chops just to stay alive Workin' hard from 8:00-5:00 every day And lately I've been wonderin' Better hurry up and slow down this pace Step out of this rat race To keep myself from stumblin' So alright already come down from the ledge Start makin' your way to the water's edge Where the sun is always shinin' Livin' on island time Livin' on island time Chillin' out feelin' alright It's paradise all day all night Livin' on island time This margarita tastes so sublime Double shot of tequila with an extra lime Counting every blessing I've been handed I found the key to happiness Is always thanking god for all of this And never taking anything for granted So alright already come down from the ledge Everybody's gonna meet at the water's edge Where the sun's always shinin' Livin' on island time Livin' on island time We're chillin' out feelin' alright It's a gorgeous day in paradise Here on the island We always have a real good time And it's never too early for a glass of wine Livin' on island time Hey Got salt in the air and sand in my hair Not a care in the world Except for where I'm gonna spend my day with you Sittin' in the sand with a drink in my hand Nothin' else to do but work on my tan And hang with my friends while we drift into the blue So alright already come down from the ledge Eveybody's gonna party at the water's edge Where everything is fine We always have a real good time Where it's never too early for a glass of wine Livin' on island time Hey livin' on island time
