A Place In The Sun

V1.

I sit in the willows, my hat on my knee.

There's a man in my shoes where a boy used to be.

I'm wore-out and weary, but before my time's done

I need to find me a place in the sun.

V2.

Well, life shot right by me. It's hard to explain.

The days started passing, now they all look the same.

Well, every good spirit needs someplace to run,

So I need to find me a place in the sun.

CHORUS:

A place where the golden rays

Dance on the waterways.

Where time passes easily,

And burdens don't trouble me.

I'd feel like a millionaire,

Sat on a foldin' chair

Watching you dance in the breeze.

V3.

I don't know a fella who ain't seen it tough.

We deal and we hustle to make just enough.

But somewhere the people are still having fun,

So I'm gonna find me that place in the sun.

CHORUS 2:

A place where there's little rain,

And good memories remain.

Somewhere you can take a drive

Back to a simple time.

I'd feel like all royalty

Sat near an olive tree

Free from my work for awhile.

V4.

I sit in the willows, my hat on my knee.

There's a man in my shoes where a boy used to be.

Well, every good spirit needs someplace to run,

So I need to find me a place in the sun.
