He left Maine 'cause he needed a change
And he was desperate to rearange priorities
And he thought the sea
Would be the best place to be

So he saved his money, sold his car
And with his eye set on a southern star
He got the courage to follow his heart
He set out for a brand new start

He's an island boy
Now he's an island boy
Living his life where stress is the enemy
Now he's an island boy
A stone's throw from St. Croix
He's finaly found his piece of serenity

Now he tends bar at the Old Mango
And he see's tourists come and go
With their pressed pants and camera case
Too much sunburn on their face

Now he watches the snow on CNN,
With all of his dope smoking friends
Just look at the Hell they must be in
He swears he won't go back again

'Cause he's an island boy
Now he's an island boy
Living his life where stress is the enemy
Now he's an island boy
A stone's throw from St. Croix
He's finaly found his piece of serenity

You know the love of his life has always been Emily
She loves the the man she sees

In her island boy
Now he's an island boy
Living his life where stress is the enemy
Now he's an island boy
A stone's throw from St. Croix
He's finally found his piece of serenity

Island boy
A stone's throw from St. Croix
Island boy, island boy, island boy
