about

Take a little tropical mini-vacation as you listen to this trop-rock romance, and dream...
Anyone out there who loves the Keys, has a record contract, & feel you can record a better version & make a better video of this song, you are more than welcome to try! I will split the publishing. (BMI publishing company is Hines57songs.)

R.I.P. C.K. Main, who inspired this song.

lyrics

More Than Key West c 2010 Kenny Hines

Hey, just thought that I’d try to call
Now that I’m back from vacation
You’re still on my mind; I had a wonderful time
But now I find myself in a funny situation

I guess you’re not home
I sure wish I was still there
‘cause girl, your smile just made me smile
And feel like I didn’t even have a care

We kissed in the pool looking over the beach
As the steel drums played and we laughed at the heat
In the salty summer breeze; now here’s something you won’t believe…

I miss you more than I miss Key West
Aw woman, that’s hard to do, & that’s sayin’ a lot
I miss you more than the ocean; I miss you more than those red sunsets
More than the warm sun caressing my body, more than the sand on my feet
It’s a pretty crazy thing, I confess
But baby – I miss you more than Key West

We were jokin’ about the DeeJay
Then we toasted to Rock & Roll!
& when you put your arms around me
I felt something in my soul

Remember how the time flew by so quickly
Now I might as well be in North Dakota
Anyway, I’m not sure what else to say
But please call me back… and tell me it’s not over…

((instrumental bridge))

I miss you more than I miss Key West
Honey, that’s hard to do, & that’s sayin’ a lot
More than the ocean and the red sunsets
More than the warm sun caressing my body, more than the sand on my feet

Such a crazy thing to say; I only knew you for one perfect day
Sorry, I digress – I better hang up the phone I guess
It’s a pretty crazy thing, I confess
But baby - I miss you more than Key West
