Lyrics

Sitting under this live oak tree
Temperature is 96 degrees
Reminds me of a Third World tune
And beach parties on Sunday afternoon
I think I'll grab a Red Stripe and hang out in the shade
Crank up the reggae and check out for the day

CHORUS
I'm coun-try pure and true
But today I'm in an island kind of mood
I want to feel some positive vibrations
A reggae groove for this backyard vacation
If anybody wants to know
What's going down
I'm just jamming to the reggae
On the country side of town

These dog days are dogging me
My girlfriend's not talking to me
Work has been workin' me over
I need some time to just lay low
It may look like I'm just sitting on an old lawn chair
But in my head I'm chillin' on an island somewhere
CHORUS
I'm coun-try pure and true
But today I'm in an island kind of mood
I want to feel some positive vibrations
A reggae groove for this backyard vacation
If anybody wants to know
What's going down
I'm just jamming to the reggae
On the country side of town

BRIDGE

I may not have the sand or the sea
But I'm cooling out like a winter freeze
My mind's on an island but I'll be back soon
Country's gone reggae for the afternoon

CHORUS
I'm coun-try pure and true
But today I'm in an island kind of mood
I want to feel some positive vibrations
A reggae groove for this backyard vacation
If anybody wants to know
What's going down
I'm just jamming to the reggae
On the country side of town
