Lyrics
Sweet water, hidden river Flows right by my place Life is slow, fishin's good That's how I spend my days I've got a sun-browned local lady She hails from Bon Secour She makes the best fried shrimp and collard greens Cold Rosé is her pour By now you must be wonderin' how I earn my pay I write words and music, fact, I write them every day Mailbox money Been so good to me When my ship comes sailin' in I feel like royalty That old song just keeps playin' from sea to shinin' sea That mailbox money sure been good to me The postman starts his outboard 'Cause we get our mail by boat That song I penned in '81 still keeps our world afloat If it wasn't for the radio and those Parrot-headed fans I'd have to get a day gig, which would surely spoil my plans
