Lyrics ROCK STEADY AND RUM Baby, let’s take a permanent vacation by the shore Throw away my suit and tie – quit your job in Baltimore I wanna get down to the basics just like an old beach bum With the three things that I truly need – your love, rocksteady, and rum Your love, rocksteady and rum Just look what I’ve become A simple man with a foolproof plan Your love, rocksteady and rum One part reggae “riddim” to satisfy my soul Two tall stalks of sugarcane boiled down to liquid gold Mix that island flavor with your kisses sweet And I’ve got the three ingredients that make the recipe complete CHORUS SOLO We’ll be livin’ like a postcard of a picture perfect scene You and me forever here – a middle manager’s dream But there’ll be no hard feelings if you say our time is up Hell, I’ll still have the Wailers and the Captain in my cup Just me, rocksteady and rum Now look what I’ve become A single man with a simpler plan Just me, rocksteady and rum |
