Every night I go to bed afraid I'm gonna die,

Prayin' to the sky that I'll survive.

Morning's when I wake up with the sunlight in my eyes,

I turn and wonder why I'm still alive.

So every now and then I steal away,

To a place I know not far away.

You can find me on a tropic island, sailing on a crystal sea,

Blue sky above, as happy as I can be.

In my own milk and honey pie land, sleeping underneath a tree,

Dreaming of love, escaping reality.

Waiting gets me crazy so I'm, never there on time,

Half out of my mind, constantly.

Hurry up and wait until it's time to stand in line,

My glasses left behind and I can't see.

When these troubles chase my smile away,

I go to a place that's miles away.

You can find me on a tropic island, sailing on a crystal sea,

Blue sky above, as happy as I can be.

In my own milk and honey pie land, sleeping underneath a tree,

Dreaming of love, escaping reality.

I've considered everybody else before myself,

On the list I'm twelfth priority.

Given up most everything I had in search of twelfth,

Lost my mental health and sanity.

So if as I sat talking in this chair,

You look into my eyes and I'm not there.

You'll know I'm heading for a tropic island, sailing on a crystal sea,

Blue sky above, as happy as I can be.

In my own milk and honey pie land, sleeping underneath a tree,

Dreaming of love, escaping reality.

I'm dreaming of love, escaping reality.
