Lyrics
The sun might not be shining,
But I’m warm down in my heart
there’s a tropical rain outside
As I sit down at the bar
And I’ll have a pint of stout
And there’s sand between my toes
And a soft day was never this warm
When I lived in Ballinasloe
Find me lazing
With my drink within my reach,
It’s the best of two worlds:
my pub on the beach
A white sand beach is nice
And a trop-i-cal sunset
And a perfectly poured pint
Is the best a man can get
But when the steel guitars play
Sometimes I miss a fiddle
So I built myself a place
That meets both needs right in the middle
I’ve been away so long
I can’t remember the cold & the damp
Unless it’s the ice in a frosty glass
Of a cocktail in my hand
I while I miss the Emerald Isle
Those shores that I call home
I’ve made the best of things right here
So I never more will roam
Come stay with me
Set your drink within your reach,
There’s always room at
my pub on the bea - each
It’s the best of two worlds:
my pub on the beach
