Pirate Flag Lyrics By Kenny Chesney

    well i come from a little bitty homegrown small town
    smoky mountains nice place to hang around
    moonshine that’s where they make it
    put it in a jug makes you want to get naked
    but i jumped on a greyhound bus one night
    and took it all the way to the end of the line
    stepped out in the sun when my feet hit the sand
    what a long strange trip

    i spent my whole life running around
    still let the wind kind of blow me around
    well i dropped a note in a bottle
    to a longlegged model
    and i traded it in for a whole another world
    a pirate flag and an island girl

    well my friends back home think i’ve gone and lost my mind
    take a sip of rum and you really would know why
    jolly roger flying on the picnic table
    blender in the kitchen willing and able
    don’t know what makes you say what the hell
    but when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
    something about it makes her just want to dance
    and she loves to dance

    i spent my whole life running around
    still let the wind kind of blow me around
    well i dropped a note in a bottle
    to a longlegged model
    and i traded it in for a whole another world
    a pirate flag and an island girl

    well i remember back home beneath the big old moon
    tucked back in the woods yeah life was good
    but here we are in a local bar and drinking shooting stars

    i might spend my whole life running around
    still let the wind kind of blow me around
    well i dropped a note in a bottle
    to a longlegged model
    and i traded it in for a whole another world
    a pirate flag and an island girl
    a pirate flag and an island girl
