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 crusin to the sound of the big diesel boom
Its not close quarters that would make me snap
Its just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap
Chorus:
Sail away, for a month at a time
Sail away, Ive got to restart my mind
And youll find me back at it again
Oh, I love the smell of fresh snapper fried light
What you say pouilly-fusse 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 Ive seen incredible things in my years
Some days were laughter and others were tears
If I had it all to do over again
Id just get myself drunk and Id jump right back in
Chorus:
Sail away, thats the way I survive
Sail away, thats 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
Bums down in capos hes 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
Im tryin to make a little sense of it all
Just tryin to make a little sense of it all
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and author known for his "Parrothead" style of music, which blends elements of country, folk, rock, and calypso. Born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett spent his childhood in various locations across the United States before settling in Key West, Florida, where he began his musical career in the 1970s. His success is attributed to songs like "Margaritaville", "Come Monday", and "Cheeseburger in Paradise", which made Buffett a cultural icon associated with a relaxed and idyllic atmosphere. Besides music, Buffett wrote several novels and non-fiction books, including the bestseller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". His music and personality inspired a large fan base, the "Parrotheads", who celebrate simple living and a love for vacations. Buffett died in 2023 at the age of 76.
