Livin it up

1983
He took one last look
Tossed that address book
His odyssey has begun
No time to see sights
Ran all the red lights
Burned all his bridges
Now its love on the run
Chorus:
Livin it up
Is takin all of his time
But he aint givin it up
It suits his temperament fine
Up on the bandstand
Plays for a few fans
Workin for minimum wage
He spots her lookin
His brain is cookin
She takes her seat
At the foot of the stage
Chorus:
Livin it up
Is takin all of his time
But he aint givin it up
It suits his temperament fine
Yeah he loves livin it up
And takin all of his time
But he aint givin it up
It never crosses his mind
Didnt say much, had a soft touch
Knew what felt good in her man
He was the same way and they split the next day
Sang all the way through the yucatan
Chorus:
Livin it up
Is takin all of our time
But we aint givin it up
It never crosses our mind
No no no hes just livin it up
And takin all of his time
But he aint givin her up
She suits his temperament fine
Yeah shes just livin it up
And takin all of his time
But she aint givin him up
It never crosses her mind

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.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
