She said I can't go back to America soon 

It's so goddamn cold it's gonna snow until June 
              G                      Em
Yeah, they're freezin' up in Buffalo, stuck in their cars 
     A                       G           D
And I'm lyin' here 'neath the sun and the stars 
 D 
Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave 
She's got a plan hidden up her shirt sleeve 
           G                 Em
Wants to find her a captain, a man of strong mind 
    A                G           D    (D7 
And any direction he blows'll be fine.

Tried and I tried but I don't understand 
Never seems to work out the way I had it planned 
         G                   Em       
Hangin' out in a marina when Steve Martin called

Singin' anybody there really wanna' get small

But women and water are in short supply 
There's not enough dope for us all to get high

As soon as we sail on to Cane Garden Bay

Called all my friends on those cheap nightly rates 
Sure was good to talk to the old United States
