Met you on a sunny road
I was going home
You were obliged to roam
We took it to the countryside
Where the music swayed
Where the sunshine stayed

Living carefree beach side
I wanna hide away hide away
From the anthills teeming
No cityscape
No garbage waste
Ah nah
Ima have my beer right here
No hurries and no worries my dear

Big blue sky
Live highlife
No need to cry
Just live highlife
No need to cry
Just live highlife
The sea and me
Like altar an priest
Comfort me o' beauty

Will we build a suite abode?
Will we share the bounty
Will we share the load?
Hear me now no need to fight
The path is crooked couldn't set it right
I wanna love you for all time
But the sun is setting now
Here comes the night

Open sky
Live highlife
The stars just shine
So why shouldn't I?
Live high, highlife
Live highlife

Highlife

About Me:
