Land Of The Lonesome Single Guys

 

People want to go to Mexico
They always talk about Hawaii
Sure those places look just like the pages
Of their favorite travel magazines

But have you ever seen the photograph
Where the light just tumbles from the eyes?
There is a place where the landscape shimmers
Seems to chuckle even as it sighs

(chorus)
So if you’re planning an exotic little trip
You can have yourself a desperate good time
The crazy natives there might give your blues the slip
In the land of the lonesome single guys

I know you want to walk in crystal waters
And I wish it were that E Z
This is a place where the rivers rumble
Every party has its little mysteries

Chorus

People want to go to Mexico
They always talk about Hawaii
Sure those places look just like the pages
Of their favorite travel magazines

But have you ever heard that quiet little sound
That whispers when you are alone?
There are some people and they laugh at thunder
Your heartbeat is the loudest thing they know…

Chorus
