Fool's Paradise - Lyrics - Aaron Watson

Watson was born in Amarillo, Texas and attended Abilene Christian University, where he began learning guitar, after playing junior college baseball in New Mexico. He gigged around Texas before releasing his debut album, A Texas Cafe; the follow-up, Shuttupanddance, was a regional sales success. His 2004 album, The Honky Tonk Kid, was produced by Ray Benson and features an appearance from Willie Nelson. Watson's band is called the Orphans of the Brazos; they appear on his 2005 album, Live at the Texas Hall of Fame. In 2006, his San Angelo release hit No. 60 on the U.S. Billboard country charts and No. 50 on its Heatseekers chart.

I've got this Caribbean queen Rubbin' in my coconut sunscreen You'd think you'd be the last thing on my mind I've got a beautiful ocean view Ten thousand miles from you So Why couldn't I leave this broken heart behind (Chorus) Oh The sunshine is dancin' on the water Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter If I keep tellin' myself I'm havin' the time of my life Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you Welcome to a fool's paradise Well I keep on tellin' me There's other fish in the sea But your memory keeps reminding me I'm wrong There's a party 'bout every night And I should be out doin' it up right Instead of watchin' re-runs of Gilligan's Island all alone (all night long) (Chorus) Oh the moonlight is dancin' on the water Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter If I keep tellin' myself I'm havin' the time of my life Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you Welcome to a fool's paradise This time next week I'll be headed to Texas On a big jet airplane Oh when I get home you know this broken heart is gonna hit me like a hurricane (Chorus) Oh The sunshine is dancin' on the water Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter If I keep tellin' myself I'm havin' the time of my life Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you Welcome to a fool's paradise
