He left Maine 'cause he needed a change   And he was desperate to rearrange 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   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 finally found his piece of serenity      Now he tends bar at the Old Mango   And he sees tourists come and go   With their pressed pants and camera case   Too much sun burned on their face   Now he watches the snow on CNN   With all of his dope smokin' friends   Just look at the hell they must be in   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 finally found his piece of serenity      You know the love of his life has always been Emily   She loves 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
