Jimmy Buffett - Mañana lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Mañana lyrics]
She said, "I can't go back to America soon
So goddamn cold, it's gonna snow until June
Yeah, they're freezin' up in Buffalo
Stuck in their cars
And I'm lyin' here 'neath the
Sun and the stars"
Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave
She's got a plan hidden up her shrewd sleeve
Wants to find her a captain
A man of strong mind
And any direction he blows will be fine
So please don't say mañana if
You don't mean it
I have heard those words for so very long
Don't try to describe the ocean
If you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just
May wind up being wrong
I tried and I tried but I don't understand
Never seemed to work out the
Way I had it planned hangin' out at a marina
When Steve Martin called
Singin', "Anybody there really want
To get small?"
But women and water are in short supply
There's not enough dope for us
All to get high
I hear it gets better, that's what they say
As soon as we sail on to Cane Garden Bay
So please don't say mañana if
You don't mean it
I have heard your lines for so very long
Don't try to describe the scenery
If you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just may
Wind up in my song
"Alright, let's reggae, Reefers!"
Called my friends on those
Cheap nightly rates sure was good to talk to
The old United States
While the lights of St thomas
Lie twenty miles west
I see General Electric's still
Doing their best
I got to head this boat South pretty soon
The new album's old and I'm
Fresh out of tunes
But I know that I'll get 'em
I know that they'll come
Through the people and places
And Callwood's Rum
So please don't say mañana if
You don't mean it (don't mean it)
I have done your lines for so very long
Don't try to describe a Kiss concert
If you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just
May wind up being gonged
And I hope Anita Bryant never ever
Does one of my songs no, no, no
So goddamn cold, it's gonna snow until June
Yeah, they're freezin' up in Buffalo
Stuck in their cars
And I'm lyin' here 'neath the
Sun and the stars"
Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave
She's got a plan hidden up her shrewd sleeve
Wants to find her a captain
A man of strong mind
And any direction he blows will be fine
So please don't say mañana if
You don't mean it
I have heard those words for so very long
Don't try to describe the ocean
If you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just
May wind up being wrong
