South American |
Got a letter from a long lost cousin of mine |
Who owns a little piece of heaven in the Argentine |
It’s a different planet, it’s a different place |
He calls it out of this world without traveling to space |
It’s not just a lesson in geography |
No equation to unravel algebraically |
It’s written in the wind and on the tropical sea |
From south of the equator it keeps callin' to me |
South American well you know I would |
South American if I only could |
I wanna be, I wanna be going back |
You only get to heaven if you chase your dreams |
Let the paparazzi flash, let the tabloid scream |
I’ve been around too long to care what anyone says |
I’m hungry and I’m doing lunch with Cameron Diaz |
South American she’s got that tango look |
South American she’ll read you like a book |
I wanna be, I wanna be going back |
It rolls off my tongue like a magical phrase |
A simple translation this message conveys |
Gimme that, gimme that South American girl |
I wanna be, I wanna be where it’s at |
South American I’m not on some trip |
South American I just long for a ship |
A sailing boat or anything that floats |
Going back |
