Ummmmm...I hate to be obvious, but this song was inspired by Flip Flops. I wrote it during a two week camping trip along the Oregon Coast...it took being on the beach to become truly inspired with what I was trying to convey.


I've been working all week
And it's time to take a break
I'm always looking for a reason
To give myself a little getaway
But I never have the time or the money
That it takes to get somewhere sunny
But that won't stop me
I'll just pretend
By wearing my flip flops all weekend

Flip Flops
An island vacation for my feet
Flip Flops
My toes are naked and free
Flip Flops
Take me where the weather's always nice
Flip Flops
A rubber pair of paradise

I got a beach chair sitting in the middle of my living room
I got a steel drum cd
Playing loud to set the mood
A tropical breeze blows through my hair
Thanks to the fan in the corner there
Oh I'm stuck here
But I am gone
The moment I slip my flip flops on

Flip Flops
An island vacation for my feet
Flip Flops
My toes are naked and free
Flip Flops
Take me where the weather's always nice
Flip Flops
A rubber pair of paradise

Yes I know
Oh it's pouring down rain outside my door
Yes I know
It's not really white sand
It's carpet on my floor
I don't care
I'll still make myself a drink with rum
With flip flops on my life is
A lot more fun

Flip Flops
An island vacation for my feet
Flip Flops
My toes are naked and free
Flip Flops
Take me where the weather's always nice
Flip Flops
A rubber pair of paradise
Oh Flips Flops
A rubber pair of paradise
Yes my Flip Flops
A rubber pair of paradise
