OJ and Coconut rum

She was the first girl I ever loved
Since I was seventeen
A few stolen kisses and several near misses
Some disasters in between

Hard as I tried it just didn’t work out
Then I lost my house and crashed my car
Got on a silver bird and headed south
Ended up here in this bar

OJ and Coconut rum
Be hell to pay when the morning comes
But that’s OK, I got nowhere to run to
And no one to ask to forgive
String a hammock between two strong trees
Sail away on the ocean breeze
Dream of adventures on the seven seas
Of a life I never lived

Couldn’t resist the kindness in her eyes
And asked her for a dance
Talked for an hour and by then I knew
She was my last chance

But she was young and I was turning gray
Kindred spirits on two paths that crossed
I’ll drink a toast now to the ones that say
Better to have loved and lost

OJ and coconut rum
Know I’ll feel better when my mind gets numb
For what ails me now there ain’t no cure
But that bottle can help me forget
Sorry if I start to bring you down
But how about bringing me another round
Some say drinking ain’t the way to go
But tonight, I’ll find out for sure

Some say our fate is written in the stars
Decided before we arrive
I only know that before I go
I better find someone to drive

OJ and coconut rum…..
