Lyrics
Costa Vida
By Daryl Stevenett
(Verse 1)
Oh, I’m feeling a little costal
I gotta get me outta here
I wanna hit the freeway running
But I’m stuck in second gear
Oh, I can hear the ocean calling
Feel the sand beneath my toes
There’s a sunset on the water
And a suntan on my nose
(Chorus)
Costa Vida, I really like your style
Costa Vida, you really make me smile
Oh, I wanna go where the coconut grow
Where the sun is shining on me
Costa Vida, that’s where I wanna be
(Verse 2)
Well, the rhythm of the tide’s in motion
And the palm trees sway in time
I’ve got a tiki bar devotion
To the sweet, the salt, and the lime
Got my flip-flops on the dashboard
And my brain is out at sea
I ripped off my rear view mirror
this is the last you’ll see of me
(Chorus)
Costa Vida, I really like your style
Costa Vida, you really make me smile
Oh I wanna go where the warm wind blows
And the sun falls into the sea
Costa Vida, that’s where I wanna be
(Bridge)
Maybe I’ll never make it back
Once I cross that borderline
‘Cause the life I’ve been chasing
Is the one I hope to find
(Final Chorus / Outro)
Costa Vida, you really set me free
Costa Vida, come and dance with me
Oh I wanna go where the coconut grow
Where the sun is shining on me
Costa Vida, that’s where I wanna be
Oh I wanna stay where the coconut play
And the waves they baptise me
Costa Vida, that’s the life for me
