You know how your money feels when you accidently leave it in your blue jeans and you take it out and it's all warm and soft, oooh! Well we let those Russian people hang on to that money for about a week and then we fly back over there. I want them to feel those sawbucks in their hands. All those little tiny pictures of Abraham Lincoln come tumblin' down out of the sky. We drop this money on the Russian people. We put all of this money into bags and we fly over the Atlantic Ocean, past Europe because they're getting their shit togehter anyway. We take the money that it'd cost us to build just one B-1 bomber, that one that doesn't work. And world peace, I've got an answer for world peace. That would solve two problems right there. "First of all, we send all the presidents of the savings and loans associations over to run the country of Iraq. But Reverened Jim has a few things he thinks could work to solve our world problems and our world tensions." And before we sing it we just want to bring you a little message of peace, prosperity, and hope in such a trouble world today. It is a love song, from a slightly different point of view, that's all. "And uh, we don't want you to think of this song in those terms because this song that we're about to get you to help us with is not a nasty, obscene song. Our Lady of Fatima over here, and that woman from Michigan runnin' around Italy with Warren Beatty over here. Can I get an AMEN for a hundred dollar pick-up truck?" I had a hundred dollar pick-up truck back in those days. Today, a pair of tennis shoes costs more than a lot of your first automobiles did. "Time has moved so fast, I will give you a couple of examples. It's just that the times have moved so far ahead of 'em they're back in the pea-brained past." We know better don't we?īut I just feel sorry for the ones that don't. The climate that's going around these days because some pea-brained people think that some of my songs are obscene and nasty. I know that some of you may be a little hesitant here. So when we get to this next song we'd like for you to sing. The only thing is, it's not nice to beat Jimmy to the words of his own song." "Yes, we white people been working on rhythm for a while but we've got a long way to go. We heard you all on a couple of songs already. We can't wait to hear all of you sing with us. We have such a choir with us this evening. In the middle of this parrothead madness this evening we thought it would be appropriate to take a few minutes of your time to reflect on a little spiritual, spiritual healing. Why don't we wander and follow la vie dansante. Til I woke up dry beneath the African skyĪnd Jimmy there's still so much to be doneĪnd like the sun hw disappeared before my very eyes Our lives change like the weather but a legend never diesĪnd "Jimmy, there's still so much to be done." I had to search my memory as I looked into those eyes When I heard a voice call out to me, "Son, come have a seat" I went down to Captain Tony's to get out of the heat Jimmy Buffett, Marshall Chapman, Will Jennings & Michael Utley If there was that many others stacked and closely packed Well they weren't much different than we might act There's some things still the same in the city Got the normal ones living beyond their means Now the beautiful people in the magazines With the trends that they set it's a pity How our lives were controlled by the city 'Til they're shooting one another just to pass the time Well they say the proximity warps their minds There's the dirt in the skies of the city You'll never, never work in this bidness again. No, I'll never, no never, never work in this bidness again I will never, never work in dis bidness again You'll never, no, never, never work in dis bidness again. Or you'll never, never work in dis bidness again You'll never never work in dis bidness again I got hired, I got fired, I got called dirty names So I went to Biloxi seeking fortune and fame Then he told the old iguana and he didn't attack He told it to the monkeys and they didn't talk back (For all of those who have dared to try, made it and lived to tell about it.) Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, Vince Melamed, Josh Leo, Willie Weeks and Matt Betton
