Ah this boomtown’s got me down, I don’t know why I came,
C Am Dm G
It must’ve been the money, though it works out just the same.
F Am F Am
No matter how much I make I spend as fast as I can make it!
F C G C
And if I could afford a plane trip out tomorrow, I’d take it.
[Verse 2]

I wish I had the money back I spent on dope and beer,
C Am Dm G
Though God knows it’s the only thing made it worth staying here.
F Am F Am
But more than the money I wish I had the time I let
F C G C
Slip by me now, there’s more than one way to get into to debt.

And they say that time is money but I think it’s more than that.
C Am Dm G
I’ll always have my pay cheque, but I’ll never get my time back.

So it’s time and a half, or double time, but I think it’s a crime

And sometimes I think they’re paying me for wasting my time

It’s spring on the island, the ice is in the bay.

And the weather getting warmer now, soon be drifting away.

It’s spring on the island and I wish I was there.
