1975
Stashed his trash in Ecuador
Bought a good suit of clothes
Flew on up to Mexico
Standin` by the shore
Waitin` for some mystery man
To pay him for his time
But thinkin` about all the money he`d made
Couldn`t help to ease his mind
Havana daydreamin`
Boy he`s just dreamin`
His life away
His daddy chopped that sugar cane
One day he fell dead
Jesus had a wanderin` feelin`
Swimmin` around in his head
Sailin` on a midnight boat
There were no questions asked
The water so green and the air was so clean
He just stuck right to his task
Havana daydreamin`
Boy he`s just schemin`
His life away
(instrumental)
Ceilin` fan it stirs the air
Cigar smoke does swirl
The fragrance on the pillowcase
And he thinks about the girl
Spillin` wine and sharin` good times
She sure could make him smile
He pays her well but what the hell
He`ll be movin` in a little while
Havana daydreamin`
Boy he`s just dreamin`
His life away
Havana daydreamin`
Boy he`ll be dreamin`
His life away
