As large as life she stood there
Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname
And though several years had passed
Both of us still looked quite the same
I said Hi, relaxed a bit then asked her how she'd been all these years
She told me she was feeling fine and came to see a friend who lived up
here
She told me she had finished school
And then went on to college for a year
I asked if she had married
And slowly down her cheek there came a tear
She said just an itchy eye it must be the weather way up here
Told her I can't stand the cold
It freezes me and I can't feel my ears
We talked a bit about Mobile
And thought about how it has never changed
I told her I was comin' home to spend some time
And hoped it wouldn't rain
She asked if she could see me then
And we could spend some time now and then
Because I lived so far away
Was still no chance why we could not be friends
I drove her to the waiting plane
And watched that big jet streaking through the sky
Thought about the sad young girl
And the time that I just saw her cry
That flame must still be burning bright
I think I'll catch a later flight today
It's time for me to go on home and spend a day or two down by the bay
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.
