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
