John Phillips - Kokomo

 
0
Copied!

{Verse 1}
Off the Florida Keys, there's a place called Kokomo
That's where we used to go to get away from it all
Just a simple place where no one recognized our face
And the tropical breeze could blow her dress way above her knees
Down in Kokomo

{Verse 2}
Just her and me and the flying fish above the sea
Everybody's trying to break loose from gravity
Technicolor nights colorin' Kokomo
Makin' love on the beach while the locals do the go-go
Down in Kokomo

{Chorus}
And wasn't it good, all the things wе tasted?
Nothing we did was evеr wasted
Every moment lingering like lovers' fingers on the strings of our lives
At least we gave it a try

{Verse 3}
Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Somewhere where they can go to get away from it all
Layin' in the sand, tropical treat melting in my hand
Watching shooting stars flash across a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo

{Chorus}
And wasn't it good, all the things we tasted?
Nothing we did was ever wasted
Every moment lingering like lovers' fingers on the strings of our lives
At least we gave it a try

{Chorus}
And wasn't it good, all the things we tasted?
Nothing we did was ever wasted
Every moment lingering like lovers' fingers on the strings of our lives

{Outro}
At least we gave it a try
Down in Kokomo
At least we gave it a try
Down in Kokomo
At least we gave it a try
Down in Kokomo
At least we gave it a try
Down in Kokomo
At least we gave it a try
Down in Kokomo
