Lyrics for Verse 1
Nibblin’ on sponge cake
Watching the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin’ my six string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp their beginning to boil
Lyrics for Verse 2
Don’t know the reason
Stayed here all season
Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
But it’s a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven’t a clue
Lyrics for Verse 3
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there’s booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Lyrics for Chorus 1
Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know, it’s nobody’s fault
Lyrics for Chorus 2
Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
Now I think, hell it could be my fault
Lyrics for Chorus 3
Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know, it’s my own damn fault
Yes, and some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
And I know, it’s my own damn fault
