G
Well I used to like to float down the weeki wachee river
C G
Now I’m land locked away in Tennessee

No its never been the same since I packed and moved away

From the bluest water I have ever seen

So I hope its not a bother that my face always looks somber
C G
And I look like I always have to go

I like to puff and drink but id rather do that on a bank
A D G
Leading out to the Gulf of Mexico
[Chorus]

So take me back to the Weeki Wachee River

Well after a long week of sweatin for my dollar

To sleep in a no-wake zone

But now that I stay 6-hundred miles away
C G
and theres no money in the tank left for the road
C G Em
I’ll have to go longer without that crystal blue water
A D G
Everybody outta leave me alone
[Chorus]
