lyrics

It's 1985, you're hooked on Magnum PI
You took us all to Hawaii, to forget all of our troubles
The way that Magnum tried, living in paradise
He missed his dad and his mom
hung with his buddies from Viet Nam

Teach me how to hurt, when to smile
that it's alright to take my time
How to drive in a high-speed chase
With resolve written on my face
It's hard to find an upstanding guy
like Magnum PI

When we got back from Hawaii, I tried to keep it inside me
Coconuts by the fireplace, drinking tropical concentrate
Dad you bought a red car, took it out for long drives
I thought maybe you were hurting
or just adventure deprived

Teach me how to hurt, when to smile
that it's alright to take my time
How to drive in a high-speed chase
With resolve written on my face
It's hard to find an upstanding guy
like Magnum PI

I wouldn't be surprised, Dad
If you were solving crimes out on the side
driving your RX painted cherry red
wearing your aviators
