	A tongue in cheek look at materialism in America. Jimmy Buffett could have written this one. You know, my view of the world through cheap sunglasses ain't too bad. And, in this day of economic uncertainty it's just bad financial planning to spend more than ten bucks on 'em.

	Story Behind the Song You know, my view of the world through cheap sunglasses ain't too bad. And, in this day of economic uncertainty it's just bad financial planning to spend more than ten bucks on 'em. During the early '90s I spent a lot of time in Panama City Beach, FL. I met a lot of spring-breakers from all over the North and South and the eastern coastline. And, it was always a hoot to see them coming in: 6 people crammed in a two door hatch back, drinking Milwaukee's Beast and living on potato chips and twinkies. But, sporting shades like Ray Bans, Oakleys, and Vuarnets. This song was totally written on the road between Tallahassee and PC. It's not surprising that this was the first song I recorded in Nashville. After all, it has been my #1 seller. To the beach! Lyrics You see him on the beach And you see him on the street Struttin' along in the Florida heat His muscles are ripped And his body is tan Huh oh, girls look out Here comes the Ray Ban Man Well, he looks like Tom Cruise Or maybe Magnum P.I. Arnold Schwartzenager Or the F.B.I. Every man's got a right To wear what they please But, c'mon a hundred bucks For a pair of these CHORUS The Ray Ban Man He really thinks he's bad Sportin' those shades He thinks I wish I had I tell you right now I'm not going blind And, cheap sunglasses suit me just fine I mean, what's he think They're gonna help him Pick up chicks Just put 'em on his face And she's on his %#$@ So, I'm telling you boys Hold on to your money Cause cheap shades like mine Have undressed many fine honeys REPEAT CHORUS Well, that's just about All I've got to say So all you boys With Ray Bans and Vuanet I bid you farewell And I wish you good luck Just remember it's not the shades That's gonna get you &%?#@! REPEAT CHORUS
