C 
He left Maine 'cause he needed a change, 
Am 
And he was desperate to rearange priorities, 
F 
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 
He got the courage to follow his heart, 
G 
He set out for a brand new start. 
 

F 
He's an island boy, 
        C 
Now he's an island boy 
G                        F                C 
Livin his life where stress is the enemy 
F 
Now he's an island boy, 
                C 
A stone's throw from St. Croix, 
G                        F 
He's finaly found his piece of serenity. 
 
Now he tends bar, at the Old Mango, 
And he see's tourists come and go, 
With their pressed pants and camera case, 
Too much sunburn on their face. 
 
Now he watches the snow on CNN, 
With all of his dope smokin friends, 
Just look at the Hell they must be in 
He swears he won't go back again. 
 
'Cause, He's an island boy, 
Now he's an island boy. 
Livin his life where stress is the enemy 
Now he's an island boy, 
A stone's throw from St. Croix, 
He's finaly found his piece of serenity. 
 
You know the love of his life has always been Emily, 
She loves the the man she sees. 
 
In her island boy, 
Now he's an island boy 
Livin his life where stress is the enemy 
Now he's an island boy, 
A stone's throw from St. Croix, 
He's finally found his piece of serenity. 
 
Island boy. 
 
A stone's throw from St. Croix. 
 
Island boy, island boy, island boy...
