My Island

I just need a thank you To get me through the day I just need a thank you No money anyway But if you're wondering why I've got no time of my own They took it all away The government they'll pay, oh But won't you take a seat Make eye contact with me As we sail to my island As we sail across my sea I'm searching for me I've still got me, myself, and I on my side Where the grass is greener than most Even for a ghost Much greener than my wallet for sure That's all I know But I don't want to say I should live any other way I just need a thank you Before you go along your way Please give me a thank you Do you recognize my face Don't you look down at my shoes I'll look at yours too Do you like my face tattoo I got it for you I call it a smile, every once in a while It's a helluva sell For my island hell
