lyrics

I want to go
Where the sugar grows
In the arms of the coffee trees
Under the shade of banana leaves
It’s a thousand miles
To the nearest rose
Where the sugar grows

We take it slow
‘coz it’s too warm to pose
There’s a Northern girl
Melting in the arms
Of a Southern guy
Oh, those Southern charms
Hot, so hot in the afternoon we doze
Where the sugar grows

Now I’m tired of the busyness
And the daily grind
I want to go
Where they got nothing
but time

It’s been a month
Since the river froze
My hair is brown, my skin is dry
There are palm trees swaying in my mind
Consider this a warning
When I’m ready, I’ll just go
Life is sweeter where the sugar grows.
