Cruisin' Down to the Yucatan – In times past it was not so unusual to just take off and hitch–hike around from place to place. In this modern adventure our hero does just that and ends up in an international incident.
A Crime of Passion – This started out as a song about the seven deadly sins. But, as many writers will tell you, often the story takes over. That's why there are some sins missing. But I think I've covered all the fun ones.
Key Largo, 1935 – To date, the 1935 hurricane that hit the Florida Keys had the lowest pressure of any to hit the continental United States. This is a song about a fellow, on the skids, who suffered the Galveston hurricane of 1900 and the Louisiana hurricane of the late 1920's. Here he faces yet another hurricane, the strongest one yet.
It Ain't What She Do – Just a fun song about living in a beach community.
A Simple Song – When interpersonal relationships dissolve different people handle them in different ways. And then, some invest more in a relationship than their partner. This is a sad song about a girl who invested, perhaps, too much.
Mojo Joe – Joe is an imposter. But not a malicious one. An opportunist, perhaps. The song tells the story.
The Puppy Song – Not about pets really.
The Best Thing to Have Happened – Based on the true story of an acquaintance of mine.
An Island Sort of Way – Vacation spots are great places to visit. This is true of the Florida Keys. But often, when we are visitors, we forget that there are people that live their daily lives there. This is a song about some of them.
Sonya the Stripper – Hey, they're people too. I've known many people in my life. Yes, some were practitioners of this trade. It is interesting how many girls are working their way through school. I find it interesting how many of them are studying for jobs in the medical profession.
Once I Was Older – Somewhat philosophical, This song came to me one morning as I drove to work.
Esmerelda – Our hero wished to obtain what seems to be the unobtainable. Set around spots in Key West, some no longer in existence, this is a reminder to be careful what you wish for.
