Read the lyrics
Paddling in my boat on a crystal blue sea
Not a cloud in the sky, it's a hundred degrees
Got nothing else to do as I drift away
Left my troubles on the shore back in yesterday
My lady by my side, yeah, she looks so fine
Every bad man on the beach can't believe she's mine
Body like a goddess, eyes that catch your soul
Nothing left to do but row, my brother, row
In my boat, row my worries away (Hey)
Boss man shouting from the beach, but I don't hear what he says
Leave that world behind, even just for today (Hey)
Just my girl and me forever as we drift away (Hey)
Just my girl and me forever as we drift away
Thirty feet deep, but you can see the bottom
Heard there might be sharks, but they must have all forgotten
She slips off the side into warm Jamaican sea
Sunlight on her skin dancing softly with the breeze
Money in the bay, boats that cost a pretty penny
But none look half as good as mine with her beside me
Daryl Hannah vibes, got a mermaid of my own
So row, boy, row, gotta take this treasure home
In my boat, row my worries away (Hey, hey)
Boss man shouting from the beach, but I don't hear what he says
Leave that world behind, even just for today (Hey)
Just my girl and me forever as we drift away (Hey)
Just my girl and me forever as we drift away
Worked hard day after day just to buy this little dream
Now my worries drift away with the tide out to sea
Easy heart, peaceful soul, nothing left to chase
Drifting through Jamaican waters, time slows to this pace
In my boat, row my worries away (Hey, hey)
Boss man shouting from the beach, but I don't hear what he says
Leave that world behind, even just for today (Hey)
Just my girl and me forever as we drift away
Drift away, drift away, yeah
Row my worries away
Under Caribbean skies (Ooh)
Just my girl and me forever as we drift away
