Somebody asked me if they thought I could be
Happy living all my days down in Belize
And I [Em] thought, why not?
[G]
[A] I [D] always like it hot
So I started listing reasons why I like it there
Sunny days of fishing in the salty air
And [Em] the stars at night, [A] there ain't [D] no air being [Bm] light
The [A] good life gives you what you need
And I believe happiness, you [D] can't deny
They [G] say [A] successful men get what they want
Happy men want [D] just what they got
And [Em] the good life for me [A] comes naturally [D] down in Belize
[Bm] [E]
[A] [E] [A] [Bm] [Em]
[D]
Yeah, the island where we live is small and intertwined
They got their own pace, they call it island time
And [Em] they say right away, [A]
they [D] just may not mean a [Bm] thing
They [Em] say, what's your [Am] hurry, man, don't worry
[C] Don't you know, [G] slim-fed road days go slow
[E] The island life will get [Em] you, pretty soon [G] set [A] you
Down into [D] a slower [A] mode, [Em] that's when all your tensions [A] go

said the motor, dresses, flip-flops and an old T-shirt
Cut-off straw hat, sunglasses won't hurt
[Em] Cause it's a sunny [Bm] day, [A] and [D] I always like it that way
[G] [D] People are all friendly, oh, they love themselves
When they get into trouble, they help each other out
[Em] It's the Christian way, [A] and I [D] always like it that way
[A] Yeah, the good life gives you what you need
And I believe happiness, [D] you can't deny
