Chilling out on a ridge, by the sea, in a ranchido.
Cool breeze through the trees sings a song so sweet.
For my baby and my boo boo,
asleep they lay,
so I picked up my guitar and I started to play.
The music was pulsing blood up to my eyes
I surmised the horizon, sun rising, surprising the hell out
of the clouds
like they were kissed for the first time.
The sun was steady rising and I'm sitting in the sunshine
I hear my baby crying and he's just waking up
so I walk through the screen door and I go pick him up.
Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka back and forth.
Baby quit crying then I'll go and play some more.
Soft and sweet melodies while your momma's sleeping
let her sleep in late this morning
let her sleep 'til the sun is burning down
burning down down down
Baby baby hold my fingers with your little tiny hands.
While we lounge in a hammock checking out all the land.
I smell the sweet scents of papaya and lime.
I smell the ocean breezes, the salt,
and my mind is captivated by your big brown eyes,
which remind me of mine.
Now I know we're two of a kind.
Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka back and forth.
Baby quit crying then I'll go and play some more.
Soft and sweet melodies while your momma's sleeping
let her sleep in late this morning
let her sleep 'til the sun is burning down
burning down down down
burning down, burning down, burning down
The day is getting brighter and the wind is breezing down.
The whole tree is shaking, fallen fruit is on the ground.
I smile when I'm thinking about the love I've found.
Momma's still sleeping so we play these mellow sounds
Soft and sweet melodies while your momma's sleeping
let her sleep in late this morning
let her sleep 'til the sun is burning down
burning down down down
