"Island Of Life" lyrics - BLACKFOOT

BLACKFOOT
"Island Of Life"
(Rick Medlocke / Jakson "Thunderfoot" Spires)

Oooh lord no
Goddamn

When your world is passing you by
You're feelin' getting late
You want to find a key that will open up
Those silver gates

You keep thinkin' that I gave it up
And in every little way
Here I come again
Oooh doncha' know

Wind blows across the sand
And there's a sleepin' haze
Seems'most like it always has
And I think of better days

Oh and last year about this time
I got myself a daze
The island that I was searchin' for
Was just a breeze away

Keep thinkin' that I shook it off
And in every little way
Whatcha think I don't know no better
Oh oh doncha' know

There's a reason to see
There's a reason to life
But our heart's in your hand
You hardly know it's alive

Ahhh Wahoo

Sing a song of seven years
And I sing a song of my way
I sing a song oh baby for you
Show you how I play

I keep thinkin' that I'll wake up
And find myself alone
On an island full of promises
Standin' all on my own

You keep thinkin' that I gave it up
And in every little way
Here I come again
Doncha' know

Ooooh Yeahhh
