[Verse]
[C]He left Maine 'cause he needed a change
[Am]And he was desperate to rearrange
[F]priorities, And he thought the sea
[G]Would be the best place to be
[C]So he saved his money, sold his car
[Am]And with his eye set on a Southern star
[F]Got the courage to follow his heart
[G]Set out for a brand new start
[Chorus]
[F]He's an island boy
Now he's [C]an island boy
[G]Living his life where [F]stress is the [C]enemy
[F]Now he's an island boy
A stone's throw [C]from St. Croix
[G]He's finally found his [F]piece of [C]serenity
[Verse]
[C]Now he tends bar at the Old Mango
[Am]And he sees tourists come and go
[F]With their pressed pants and camera case
[G]Too much sun burned on their face
[C]Now he watches the snow on CNN
[Am]With all of his dope-smokin' friends
[F]Just look at the hell they must be in
[G]Swears he won't go back again
[Chorus]
[F]He's an island boy
Now he's [C]an island boy
[G]Living his life where [F]stress is the [C]enemy
[F]Now he's an island boy
A stone's throw [C]from St. Croix
[G]He's finally found his [F]piece of [C]serenity
[Bridge]
[D]You know the love of his life has always been Emily
[F]She l[C]oves the man she [G]sees
[F]In her island boy
Now he's an [C]island boy
[G]Living his life where [F]stress is the [C]enemy
Now he's an i[F]sland boy
A stone's throw [C]from St. [F]Croix
[G]He's finally found his [F]piece of [C]serenity
Island boy
A stone's throw from St. Croix
Island boy
