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 thought, “Why not?
I always like it hot…”
So I started listing reasons why I like it there
Sunny days out fishing in the salt sea air
And the stars at night
Without ambient light
~Chorus~
The good life gives you what you need
And I believe that happiness sure counts a lot
Success is getting what you want
A happy man is one who wants what he’s got
And the good life for me comes naturally
Down in Belize
The island where we live is small and intertwined
The pace is always easy, they say take your time
When they say “right away” they may not mean today
(bridge)
They say “What’s your hurry. Don’t you worry
Don’t you know San Pedro days go slow”
The island life will get ya
And pretty soon will set you
Down into a slower mode
That’s when all your tensions go
The people are all friendly
And they like themselves
When they get into trouble
They help each other out
It’s the Christian way
I always like it that way
The mode of dress is flip flops and an old t-shirt
Some cut-offs with straw hat and then sunglasses won’t hurt
Cause it’s a sunny day
I always like it that way
