Jimmy Buffett - Jamaica Mistaica lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Jamaica Mistaica lyrics]
Some folks say that I've got the perfect life
Three swell kids
Lots of toys and a lovely wife
I fly, I sail, I throw caution to the wind
Drift like a stratus cloud
Above the Caribbean
But every now and then
The dragons come to call
Just when you least expect it
You'll be dodgin' cannonballs
I've seen too much not to stay in touch
With a world full of love and luck
I've got a big suspicion 'bout ammunition
I never forget to duck
Come back, come back, back to Jamaica
Don't you know, we made a big mistake-a
We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye
And we promise not to shoot
You out of the sky
It was a beautiful day
The kind you want to toast
We were treetop flyin'
Movin' west along the coast
Then we landed in the water
Just about my favorite thrill
When some asshole started firing as
We taxied to Negril
Just about to lose my temper
As I endeavored to explain
We had only come for chicken
We were not a ganja plane
Well, you should have seen their
Faces when they finally realized
We were not some coked-up cowboys
Sporting guns and alibis
Come back, come back, back to Jamaica
Don't you know, we made a big mistake-a
We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye
And we promise not to shoot
You out of the sky
They shot from the lighthouse
They shot from the highway
They shot from the top of the cliff
They had all gone haywire
We're catchin' fire
And there wasn't even a spliff
Well, the word got out all over the island
Friends, strangers, they were all apologizin'
Some thought me crazy for being way too nice
But it's just another shitty day in paradise
Come back, come back, back to Jamaica
Don't you know, we made a big mistake-a
We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye
And we promise not to shoot
You out of the sky
Come back, Come back, back to Jamaica
Don't you know, we made a big mistake-a
We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye
And we promise not to shoot you
Promise not to shoot you
Promise not to shoot you out of the sky
Three swell kids
Lots of toys and a lovely wife
I fly, I sail, I throw caution to the wind
Drift like a stratus cloud
Above the Caribbean
But every now and then
The dragons come to call
Just when you least expect it
You'll be dodgin' cannonballs
I've seen too much not to stay in touch
With a world full of love and luck
I've got a big suspicion 'bout ammunition
I never forget to duck
Come back, come back, back to Jamaica
Don't you know, we made a big mistake-a
We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye
And we promise not to shoot
You out of the sky
It was a beautiful day
The kind you want to toast
We were treetop flyin'
Movin' west along the coast
Then we landed in the water
Just about my favorite thrill
When some asshole started firing as

Promise not to shoot you
Promise not to shoot you out of the sky
