Lyrics:
Well I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town,
Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around.
Moonshine, that's where they make it,
Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked.
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night
And took it all the way to the end of the line.
Stepped out in the sun, when my feet hit the sand
What a long strange trip
I spent my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why
Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
Don't know what makes you say "What the hell"
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
Something 'bout it makes her just wanna dance
And she loves to dance
I spent my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
Pirate flag and an island girl
Well I remember back home 'neath the big ol' moon
Tucked back in the woods, yea life was good
But here we are in a local bar and drinkin' shooting stars
I might spend my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl

This song literally is my life right now. Moved to Hawaii, living on a farm by the ocean, driving my truck around barefoot blasting Kenny's new CD... soundtrack to my life. THANK YOU KENNY.

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

to kenny i know you like pirates. do you associate with the pirates of the Mississippi. or how about those crazy kentucky head hunters. or how about the long lost waterschoots from the nederlands my dad kidded me that they were river pirates. only God knows for shure. any ways the name has water and s(c)hoot. any ways you have religious backing ask your friend (eric) church. and if you "blink" it is in the past. i am 65 years and hope now is midlife crisis and have another 60 year. you have done good work so keep up the goodwill and good work. and may God bless.

I once lived in the beautiful VI as well! Kenny’s house was in St John, ours on St Thomas. You could find his song lyrics written in bars throughout the island. Some of us had to come back to the states after Irma and Maria due to having school aged children. But I am so grateful I was able to raise my kiddos for a few years in all this beauty. Two of my kiddos turned 13 there and one 16. Very special place for us all!! I’m ready to move back.

[@jacobelemke5574]

life is as simple as you want it to be amy, people are only as held down as they want to be. This song is more about chasing what really makes you happy no matter what others say, and the sacrifice it took in order for him to get there.

[@james9829]

Amy Deane did it for 5 years.. and all I got to say it was a hell of a party.. then realized that when money starts getting low it's not as fun. but enjoyed it to the fullest.. who else can say they lived their life by their own rules ? even if it was just 5 years.

He is gay, but he's awesome. And just because he can get hard and fuck a woman doesn't mean he's not thinking about a fat cock in his asshole.

This brings back memories. When I was younger I used to play Minecraft with some friends - that summer we made a pirate island. We would sit there and drink all night playing Minecraft and blasting this song.

This song kicks ass, but could someone please tell me the message behind the song? I've spent my whole life runnin' around, trying to find the message of this song!

[@Msredtulip1990]

To me it sounds like he left his life in the mountains behind for the island life

[@PeaceyPraps]

Msredtulip1990 Seems legit.

[@jacobelemke5574]

while that is the obvious answer there is a deeper meaning to it. While he loved his home life back in the moutains he took a chance on another life, and in so doing he found another life he loved. Take from it what you will, but from what i can personally tell the song is about finding what makes you happy, and chasing it instead of just being blown around by the wind.

[@PeaceyPraps]

Jacobe Lemke That sounds about right. I actually think that's a great explanation.
