Lyrics Down In Belize - Jerry Jeff Walker

Somebody asked me if I thought I could be
Happy living all my days down in Belize
And I though why not
I always like it hot

So I started listing reasons why I like it there
Sunny days of fishing in the salty air
And the stars at night
There ain't no ambient light

The good life gives you what you need
And I believe happiness counts a lot
They say successful men get what they want
Happy men want just what they got
And the good life for me comes naturally
Down in Belize

Ya the island where we live is small and intertwined
They got their own pace they call it island time
When they say right away they just may not mean today
They say what's your hurry man don't worry
Don't you know San Pedro days go slow
The island life will get you
Pretty soon it sets you
Down into a slower mode
That's when all your tensions go

I say the mode of dress is flip-flops and an old t-shirt
Cut-offs, straw hat, sunglasses won't hurt
Cause it's a sunny day
I always like it that way
People are all friendly oh they love themselves
When they get into trouble they help each other out
It's the Christian way
I always like it that way

Ya the good life gives you what you need
And I believe happiness counts a lot
Successful men get what they want
Happy men want just what they got
And the good life for me comes naturally
Down in Belize

Doo doo, doo, doo doo,
Doo, doo doo, doo doooo
Doo doo, doo, doo doo
Doo doo do ooooo
