Interpretation
Told me the news
I was feeling down and blue
But then I saw something on TV
A man said that the sea
Has the power to heal
All the heartaches that we feel
That got me excited
Without even thinking twice
I packed my bags and hit the road
Now I'm on a roll
And I promise you all
Tonight, I'm gonna have a good time
So bring me two pina coladas
I need one for each hand
Let's sail away with Captain Morgan
And never come back to dry land
I forgot about my troubles
I buried them in the sand
So bring me two pina coladas
Because I said goodbye to my old man
GOODBYE
Now I must tell you
That the wind, the waves, and the moon
Are all easing my troubled mind
By leaving my past behind
All the heartaches that love brings
Are slowly fading away
And now I can smile for days
With no urge to run away
I have to admit
That I think I'm gonna stay
Because this place is starting to feel like home
So bring me two pina coladas
I want to hold one in each hand
