about

Music by Bill Rhea
Lyrics by Josie Cotton and Bill Rhea

lyrics

Socially, I should be living in Santa Barbara
Politically, it’s like a movie set in old Havana.
Up where the cards are carefully played
Out where a president can ride the range.

Luckily, I have connections in Santa Barbara
The slightest breeze becomes a hurricane in Nicaragua.
Yacht clubs, bribes and spy rings
It’s always the same thing.
I want what he wants what they want
What nobody has.
Living on the ocean you can feel the motion
The boat is in the water.
Gonna be in Santa Barbara tonight
The boat is in the water
Gonna meet you in the harbor.

Santa Barbara is such a secret
‘Cause I want what he wants what they want
What nobody has.
