[Jimmy Buffett - If I Could Just Get It On Paper lyrics]

If I could just get it on paper
The things that have happened tonight
That seems to me to be the big key
I'm havin' too good a time to
Ever turn out the lights

Go to bed, wake up with a clear head
Recallin' what made it a ball
Yes, if I could just get it on paper
I might make some sense of it all

If I could tell half of the stories
The funny way most things begin
Figure ways to disguise all
The half-truths and lies
Find the heart of my song with
The point of a pen

Simple words can become clever phrases
And chapters could turn into books
Yes, if I could just get it on paper

But it's harder than it ever looks

All alone on the edge of the water
Hidin' out by the Sea of Cortez
With my sketch pads and flares
Tapes and battery spares
It's just no comprehendo to
What everyone says

Time alone seemed to work well for Faulkner
Time away seems to work for the kid
Life and ink, they run out at the same time
Or so said my old friend the squid

Yes, if I could just get it on paper tonight
I could tell you what I think I did
