The Bellamy Brothers
Okeechobee
[Verse 1]
I'm feelin' so bad I think this might really hurt for a while
As of today I've lost all my reasons to smile

[Pre-Chorus]
You we're out of my league, but my love was so strong
I thought I could win you, boy was I wrong
Just forward my mail to this backwater town where I've gone

[Chorus]
I'm down in Okeechobee, I'm singing karaoke
I got a one eared dog and a big backlog
Of songs that ain't new
I'm smokin' marijuana with a green iguana
Lyin' to myself, tryin' to pretend I don't love you

[Verse 2]
Now all of my friends they think I just fell off the grid
See my phone don't roam in the swamp so I guess I did

[Pre-Chorus]
Just nursin' tequila, forgettin' my past
I hate it when one way love doesn't last
Damn this ol' heart breakin' down the shadow it cast

[Chorus]
I'm down in Okeechobee, I'm singing karaoke
I got a onе eared dog and a big backlog
Of songs that ain't new
I'm smokin' marijuana with a green iguana
Lyin' to mysеlf tryin' to pretend I don't love you
[Bridge]
Now, holding you close once again
Could make my pain go away
But they're callin' my chances, slim and none
So, I guess I'm just stuck here wastin' away

[Chorus]
I'm down in Okeechobee, I'm singing karaoke
I got a one eared dog and a big backlog
Of songs that ain't new
I'm smokin' marijuana with a green iguana
Lyin' to myself, tryin' to pretend I don't love you

[Outro]
Lyin' to myself, tryin' to pretend I don't love you
