Mailbox Money |
| Sweet water, hidden river |
| Flows right by my place |
| Life is slow, fishin’s good |
| That’s how I spend my days |
| I’ve got a sun-browned local lady |
| She hails from Bon Secour |
| She makes the best fried shrimp and collard greens |
| Cold Rosé is her pour |
| By now you must be wonderin' how I earn my pay |
| I write words and music, fact, I write them every day |
| Mailbox money |
| Been so good to me |
| When my ship comes sailin' in I feel like royalty |
| That old song just keeps playin' from sea to shinin' sea |
| That mailbox money sure been good to me |
| The postman starts his outboard |
| 'Cause we get our mail by boat |
| That song I penned in '81 still keeps our world afloat |
| If it wasn’t for the radio and those Parrot-headed fans |
| I’d have to get a day gig, which would surely spoil my plans |
| Mailboat money |
| Been so good to me |
| When my ship comes sailin' in I feel like royalty |
| They still hum that melody from France to Newfoundland |
| Mailbox money made me what I am |
| Put it in the mailbox |
| Put it in the mailbox |
| Now the postman, he retired two or three years back |
| Now he fishes every day and I take up the slack |
| I load that fifteen foot Pirogue US mailboat down |
| Jump start my Johnson and spread the love around |
| Junk mail, bills and birthday cards on the last boat that remains |
| I’m a one man crew but I still get through those floods and hurricanes |
| Mailboat money |
| Down in LA, that’s how our mail arrives |
| Drop us a line at zip code 36 555 |
| I love that mailbox money from sea to shinin' sea |
| Nothing else comes close to stackin' up |
| 'Cept the Full Moon Jubilee |
| Giggin' big fat flounders with Jimbo at slack tide |
| Mailbox money sure seems bonafide |
| That old song just keeps playin' from sea to shinin' sea |
| Mailbox money sure been good to me |
| (Put it in the mailbox) |
| Just keeps comin' in |
| (Put it in the mailbox) |
| What a boat ride this has been |
| (Put it in the mailbox) |
| (Put it in the mailbox) |
| Whole lotta jingle in that single |
| (Put it in the mailbox) |
| Cha-ching |
| (Put it in the mailbox) |
| Ooh, might go look at the mail Johnson |
| (Put it in the mailbox) |
| Maybe get a new guitar |
| (Put it in the mailbox) |
| I don’t wanna be a star |
