You know my heart is still in the Caribbean   I still hear my girlfriend say   Come Back Home, to the land of the palmy beaches   Where your heart has always been, since the very first day      I still miss Goombay Samba every evening   And the sailing boats beneath the bridge so high   I feel the sun and my heart within me leaving    To come back to Nassau, to the sun, the sea and the sky         I hear cowbells and the drums on New Years morning   And I smell hibiscus in the tropic skies above   Look at the boats and the conch and fish a dawnin’   I know it’s Nassau and everything about it I love   Island boy, you’ve got your mind on your job   but your heart is in the Caribbean      Island boy, when you look at the concrete walls   You can hear them say   Come back home,    to the land of the sun and the palmy beaches   Where your heart belongs   Since the very first day
