Ryan Henke - A Few More Days in Paradise lyrics

rate me

Back in the day me and my partners in crime

Had to get away and go and have a good time

Cuz when you’re working hard you gotta play even harder

What better place than far south of the border

When it’s cold back home, in Costa Rica it’s prime

I leave all of the layers of clothes behind

Strap sandals on my feet, in shorts and T’s I’m fine

Can’t wait to get away, can’t wait to have a good time

Jaun Santamaria thanks for welcoming these

Wide eyed gringos to paradise and please

I’m afraid I’m never gonna want to leave

La pura vida is simply so beckoning

So no we’re here and we don’t wanna waste time

To live the here and now is so sublime

Conchal, Tamarindo or Flamingo’s fine

We can see them all tomorrow if we drive all night

A few more days of paradise please

More sand, sun and waves than you’d ever believe

And when the sun goes down, the moon and the sea

Dancing to the music of the breeze in palm trees

Nothing like the warm water of the sea

Wake up in the morning, go body surfing

Beach volleyball to see who’s king of the beach

Grab a pipa fria to cool off me

Sorry bros I know you think that it’s a crime

Laying in the shade at siesta time

Till the jama in the soda down the way I try

Bob Marley’ll be singing me a lullaby

We spend about a week everyday like these

Piling in the van we go wherever we please

Ojala the rain doesn’t disagree

We’ll see the sun from Papagayo to Mal Pais

We’d seen the best beaches we’d ever seen

Beaches to ourselves, living the dream

Till I found myself schemin’ a scheme

Derailed my train of thought if you know what I mean

We could do the zona sur, never been there before

Never really knowing what’s in store

Or we can go another route, take a detour

Para la pachanga go and hit the dance floor

Everybody’s staring as we hit the scene

Pseudo gringui-tico dance fiends

Nothing here’s better than the gente

Our new tico friends todos pachucin

The music won’t stop till five in the morn

Dancing won’t stop until the break of dawn

I never thought I’d ever see

A tica tan linda dancing with me

A few more days in paradise please

More sun, sand and waves than you’d ever believe

When the sun goes down, the moon and the sea

Dancing to the music of the breeze in palm trees<br />
