Hey man what you doing tonight?
I'm going down to the tiki
Yeah? They got the same guitar player?
Yeah they do. I think he's pretty good
He is good, but he's been there for a long time

Living in Sarasota
Everything is so fine
But life here ain't so easy
I need a dollar, get a dime
Though everyone's so happy
And everyone's so tan
They don't seem to worry
They don't need a plan
Just to play the guitar
At the local tiki bar
Get enough tip money to put 
Some gas in your old car
Then on your way back home
Stop in at the grocery
Nobody goes hungry
Cause they all got the EBT yeah

Living in Sarasota
Everything is so fine
But life here ain't so easy
I need a dollar, get a dime
Though everyone's so happy
And everyone's so tan
They don't seem to worry
They don't need a plan
Just to play the guitar
At the local tiki bar
Get enough tip money to put 
Some gas in your old car
Then on your way back home
Stop in at the grocery
As long as you got an address
You can still get your EBT

Hey man what are doing tonight
I'm going down to the tiki
Oh, living in Sarasota 
Again? Dude, I don't know...dude...same guitar player, man...
No wait, they got a new guy, he's really good

Then one day you find 
That your tiki bar time has come to an end
Your landlord puts you out
And you wind up in the couch of an old friend
Once again

But you're still living in Sarasota
And everything's gonna be fine
But life here ain't so easy
Need a dollar, here's a dime
Though everyone seems happy
And everyone's got a great tan
They don't seem to worry
Hey what about the future man?
Going to play the guitar
At the local tiki bar
Hope some kind hearted patron
Puts some money in your tip jar
Then on your way back home
You spend it all on gasoline
Ain't no money leftover
For you to "make the scene"
Still you're living in Sarasota
Living in Sarasota
Oh living in Sarasota 
Living in Sarasota
