[Verse]
Bm A G A
Some folks say that I've got the perfect life
Bm A G A
Three swell kids, lots of toys and a lovely wife
Bm A G A
I fly, I sail, I throw caution to the wind
Bm A G A
Drift like a stratus cloud above the Caribbean
Bm A G A
But every now and then, the dragons come to call
Bm A G A
Just when you least expect it you'll be dodgin' cannonballs
Bm A
I've seen too much not to stay in touch
G A
With a world full of love and luck
Bm A
I've got a big suspicion 'bout ammunition
G A
I never forget to duck
[Chorus]
G A D A Bm
Come back, Come back, Back to Jamaica

And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky

Bm A G A
It was a beautiful day, the kind you want to toast
Bm A G A
We were tree top flyin' movin' west along the coast
Bm A G A
Then we landed in the water, just about my favorite thrill
Bm A G A
When some asshole started firing as we taxied to Negril
[Verse]
Bm A G A
Just about to lose my temper as I endeavored to explain
Bm A G A
We had only come for chicken we were not a ganja plane
Bm A G A
Well, you should have seen their faces when they finally realized
Bm A G A
We were not some coked up cowboy sporting guns and alibis
[Chorus]

Come back, Come back, Back to Jamaica

Well, the word got out all over the island

But it's just another shitty day in paradise
