    Story Behind the Song
    This is my answer to the frustration of where the country has gone. I wrote it one day, it just came out.

    Lyrics
    G
    Looking out my window
    Em
    Listening to the news
    C
    A world of gray in black and white
    D
    Where cowboys win and singers lose

    G
    Somewhere out that window
    Em
    There’s a place bathed in the sun
    C
    Follow our dreams into the light
    D G
    A day away, we could be gone


    Chorus:
    C
    There is an island
    Em
    Far away from here
    C
    A place that’s built for me and you
    D
    I’m going to take you there

    C
    Come to my Island
    Em
    Let’s find a setting sun
    C
    Leave the chaos and the strife
    D G
    A day away, we could be gone

    Verse 2:
    Someone stole my right to breathe
    And put it in their car
    And then they took my right to speak
    Too dangerous were in a war

    I wonder what I’m doing here
    Not having any fun
    No carefree laugh, no easy smile
    A day away, we could be gone


    Verse 3:
    Last night we walked along the beach
    To soothe our stress away
    We didn’t want to leave that place
    To face another day

    There is a place we need to go
    It won’t take us long
    Stay on the beach, keep heading south
    A day away, we could be gone
