Fantástica canción hace soñar con unas vacaciones on Martinique Bay

[DebyCedars]

Lyrics
I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say?
My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay
It's not that I'm not interested, you see
Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be
I think Jamaican in the moonlight
Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night
We got no money, mama, but we can go
We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove
Keep on talking, mama, I can hear
Your voice, it tickles down inside of my ear
I feel a tropical vacation this year
Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear
I think Jamaican in the moonlight
Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night
We got no money, mama, but we can go
We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove
Voila! An American Dream
Well, we can travel girl, without any means
When it's as easy as closing your eyes
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign
Just keep talking, mama, I like that sound
It goes so easy with that rain falling down
I think a tropical vacation this year
Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear
Voila! An American Dream
Yeah, we can travel, girl, without any means
When it's as easy as closing your eyes
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign
Just think Jamaican in the moonlight
Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night
We got no money, mama, but we can go
We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove

We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove

Keep on talking, mama, I can hear

[MAAivoges]

is there any footage of Dirt Band performing an American dream with Linda Ronstadt, the queen of country rock?

[entrthedragon]

Martinique Bay is up in Canada. Did they actually mean Montego Bay in Jamaica, but Martinique Bay just sounded better?

[sofaking]

I take it this song didn't get much airplay in Boston.
