Steve Poltz — Croatia lyrics

Lyrics

There sets the sun on the Adriatic sea
My dogs are barking and I got sore knees
Well, I’m 'bout as broke as a champagne glass
I think i’ll take a nap on this patch of grass
A bum is still a bum in a new country
A cat still scratches if he’s got flees
Boats are coming in and i’ve got loose change
I think i’ll buy a fish and grill it on the range
Croatia,
I’m gonna miss ya
Like a bottle of wine
I’ll put my lips against ya
Hold on tight
it’s a roller coaster ride
from Dubrovnik to Split
it’s gonna be alright
Gather up my kunas and wash my hair
This bus ride’s shaky but i don’t scare
Kids are playing football and kicking a goal
My head is the post and it takes its toll
I duck into a church to say my prayers
It don’t matter what religion they’re all unfair
The water looks just like turquoise foam
I can’t stay here and I won’t go home
Croatia,
I’m gonna miss ya
Like a bottle of wine
I’ll put my lips against ya
Hold on tight
it’s a roller coaster ride
from Dubrovnik to Split
it’s gonna be alright
The ghost of tito hovers in the shade
don’t make a lot of money but we still get paid
I try to play quiet but I end up loud
Throw some money in my case I ain’t too proud
The sun’s so hot my sweat drips down
My eyes are red and my skin is brown
I’m like a magician as the waves play tag
I change this money to a jug in a bed
Croatia,
I’m gonna miss ya
Like a bottle of wine
I’ll put my lips against ya
Hold on tight
it’s a roller coaster ride
from Dubrovnik to Split
it’s gonna be alright
Yeah, from Dubrovnik to Split
it’s gonna be alright
Dubrovnik to Split
it’s gonna be alright
