ReggaeParking Lot in Paradise
A laid-back island daydream that finds its whole emotional center in the small wait between ordering food and realizing you’re already where you wanted to be.

Production Notes
The nice thing about this one is that it never mistakes ease for emptiness. The track is full of motion, but it moves like someone who has finally stopped checking the clock.
Warm skanks, round bass, and the local detail do the heavy lifting.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sun on my dash Sand on my floor mat Order on my phone Yeah I'm just coolin' right back Trade winds talkin' Plumeria in my cup Slippers on the pedal But I ain't in a rush [Chorus] I'm just waitin' in the parking lot in paradise Windows down Let the mellow time roll by Got my number on the screen Got this island in my eyes Just waitin' in the parking lot in paradise (oh yeah) Parking lot in paradise [Verse 2] Keiki runnin' barefoot Chickens in the shade Cousin in the next stall Throw me one shaka wave Radio hums easy Old school island jam Clouds paint the mountains Life's right here where I am [Chorus] I'm just waitin' in the parking lot in paradise Windows down Let the mellow time roll by Got my number on the screen Got this island in my eyes Just waitin' in the parking lot in paradise (so nice) Parking lot in paradise [Bridge] Could be rushin' through the day But the trade winds say "stay" Every second tastes so sweet Rubber slippers on the concrete [Chorus] I'm just waitin' in the parking lot in paradise Windows down Let the mellow time roll by Got my number on the screen Got this island in my eyes Just waitin' in the parking lot in paradise (one more time) Parking lot in paradise
