Jimmy Buffett - Landfall lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Landfall lyrics]
Now what would they do if I just sailed away?
Who the hell really compelled
Me to leave today
Runnin' low on stories of what made it a ball
What would they do if I made no landfall?
I lived half my life in an eight by five room
Just cruisin' to the sound of
The big diesel boom
It's not close quarters that
Would make me snap
It's just dealin' with the
Daily unadulterated crap
Sail away for a month at a time
Sail away, I've got to restart my mind
And you'll find me back at it again
Oh, I love the smell of
Fresh snapper fried light
What you say Pouilly-Fussé to
Round out the night?
The mid-morning watch is the
Best time to look oh, what would they do if
I wrote the big book?
'Cause I've seen incredible things
In my years
Some days were laughter and others were tears
If I had it all to do over again
I'd just get myself drunk and
I'd jump right back in
Sail away, that's the way I survive
Sail away, that's just no shuck and jive
It just makes my whole life come alive
The wind whistles through the
Cold riggin' at night
Crazy crowds boogie to the
Sounds and the lights
Bum's down in Capo's, he's just havin' a ball
What would he do on another landfall?
What would they do if I made no landfall?
Oh, what would they do if I flew to Nepal?
What would I do if I met Lucille Ball?
I'm tryin' to make a little sense of it all
Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all
Who the hell really compelled
Me to leave today
Runnin' low on stories of what made it a ball
What would they do if I made no landfall?
I lived half my life in an eight by five room
Just cruisin' to the sound of
The big diesel boom
It's not close quarters that
Would make me snap
It's just dealin' with the
Daily unadulterated crap
Sail away for a month at a time
Sail away, I've got to restart my mind
And you'll find me back at it again
Oh, I love the smell of
Fresh snapper fried light
What you say Pouilly-Fussé to
Round out the night?
The mid-morning watch is the
Best time to look oh, what would they do if
I wrote the big book?
'Cause I've seen incredible things
In my years
Some days were laughter and others were tears
If I had it all to do over again
I'd just get myself drunk and
I'd jump right back in
Sail away, that's the way I survive
Sail away, that's just no shuck and jive
It just makes my whole life come alive
The wind whistles through the
Cold riggin' at night
Crazy crowds boogie to the
Sounds and the lights
Bum's down in Capo's, he's just havin' a ball
What would he do on another landfall?
What would they do if I made no landfall?
Oh, what would they do if I flew to Nepal?
What would I do if I met Lucille Ball?
I'm tryin' to make a little sense of it all
Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all
