Panama
pedasi.panama.2004
a couple days after the boxing day tsunami, i had written some really heavy songs [i had lost friends]…i wanted to write something to lighten up…i was newly in love and traveling with my then girlfriend…now wife…mostly on the azuero peninsula where my father founded a marine science reserve.
in a nearby cowboy town, after a particularly brutal rodeo, a band played…samy and sandra sandoval…one of the more awesome musical experiences i have ever witnessed…a cayman had just tried eating a friend's labrador…the panamanian president at the time was walking thru the midnight dirt streets of pedasi with her girlfriends drinking…as were we…the local seco [moonshine].
we were staying at this eccentric french guy's insanely beautiful bed and breakfast…it was a beautiful time and place…not sure how spike got into this one…glad he's here…
At least you're trying Everybody else down here's just buying Whatever is at the going rate today It's always got to be about the chase
My friend Spike Said sorry, but it's just a pony ride But it's on the table here today So it's going to have to be okay
In Panama In Panama It's going to have to be okay And then we give it all away
We'll at least you're thinking Everybody else I know is just drinking Drinking up a wave of regret And I don't think they've finished drinking yet
In the dancing hall Samy and Sandra Sandoval Finger on the heartbeat of it all From Pedasi to Cambutal
In Panama In Panama Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It's going to have to be okay But everybody loves you anyway
And then the question comes up Are we wasting our time Is this the presence of God Or just a presence of mind
In Panama In Panama It's going to have to be okay Think you're going to make it anyway
Hanging over Over to a hanger for a party The flying season's getting started You'll take it on a wing and fly away
We'll at least you're flying Because everybody else I know here's dying It's what you've got to love about the crocodile At least he's going to kill you with a smile
In Panama In Panama It's going to have to be okay Everybody loves you anyway
In Panama In Panama It's going to have to be okay Everybody loves you, baby
