Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett Lyrics

Jimmy Buffett has certainly built himself an empire of
music, books, videos, nightclubs and clothing lines, but it
is his yearly concert tour that consistently lands Buffett
on the Fortune magazine's list of highest earning
entertainers.
Jimmy William Buffett was born December 25, 1946, in the
Jackson County Memorial Hospital near Pascagoula,

James Buffett Sr., captained his own ship, the Chicamauga,

Review about Jimmy Buffett
Accompanying Me on Long Low Fights | Reviewer: Ricky 'Cowboy' E
------ About artist/band Jimmy Buffett
Well, yes, I figure I was a treetop flying but that's not what we called it back when. Thanks for flying with me on "cassette". A great comfort when pulling palm leaves from between the brakes and wheels on a make-shift strip at 2:30 in the morning.
Still burning bridges and avoiding radar.
Luv Ya,
Ricky

------ About the song Little Miss Magic performed by Jimmy Buffett
My dad died of cancer on Jan 1, 2009 and he told me before he died that I was his little miss magic. I finally,after three months looked up the lyrics to the song. Wow, what a great song. I miss my dad.

Chloramine
Chloramine
The circle burns clear fire yellow.
When I held her face. Which was pale,white,brown.She turned away. The girl of my dreams.She refused to acknowledge me. For my fear of heart. Take it away. Away
From my taste ,cause Im in this world of pain hurt,and rejection.CHloramine\Chloramine. Why do you Turn away? When I cry for me. I turned away only to find my eyes drip blood red to the ground
For my love chloramine , She turned her eyes . When I said goodbye to my love chloramine.I know I hurt you with my rash words.
But I hope we will make up for our past mistakes.
And I must say Im sorry about our departure.
I have eyes full of tears. The clouds are gray overhead . My garments are rainsoaked from my wanderings. I have wondered a thousand miles.
I sit alone with my head between my hands .And try to reconcile my lies. What is this I have come upon that hurts me so. Chloramine Dont turn around,cause Im trying to forget your beautiful face. Take it away!Away! From my pain and anguish.
Because I love you so . Chloramine !Dont cry!Dont cry! When I walk on bye. And forgive me for my lies.Consequences abound for my mistakes. I love you and will always love you Chloramine\chloramine

Sweet Voice | Reviewer: Sydney
------ About the song L'Air De La Louisiane performed by Jimmy Buffett
I think Jimmy has a great voice and completly fits this song. I think even though he isn't French he sure did sound like it. I was pleasntly surprised when I first heard it. Thanks be to Jimmy for his great voice and charming accent. (As fake as it may be)
Crowd pleaser | Reviewer: Jay
------ About the song God's Own Drunk performed by Jimmy Buffett
I have performed this particular Jimmy Buffett ditty a number of times and it is always a crowd pleaser. Easy for the band and it always goes over very well. It is one of my alllllllll time Buffett songs...........J

------ About artist/band Jimmy Buffett
I was born a Parrothead, attending my first concert in my mothers belly when she was 7 months pregnant with me. I have been to many shows over the years and have had many great memories with my parents, and now friends at his concerts. When I am laying out on the beach listening to my ipod, its always Jimmy Buffett (and a lil' Marley of course). Some friends make fun of me for the obsession, while the smart ones embrase it. There is nothing like a pre concert party in the parking lot. I have some great memories. Jimmy is an amayzing artist, business man and author. I have read a few of his books, including his childrens book. I thank him for all the memories and great times i have shared over his music or at his concerts with family and friends.
Song with alluring melody and words | Reviewer: George Burke
------ About the song When The Coast Is Clear performed by Jimmy Buffett
The song, "When the Coast is Clear" has an alluring melody and its words are captivating. I love the place where there is an echoing of voices. It sounds as if there is a female voice that enter a section and is then overlaid by Jimmy Buffet's voice. Am I hearing things, or is that not a female voice. Either that or it is Jimmy singing falsetto. Perhaps someone can help me.
I have been a parrot head since I used to sing "Come Monday" at Steak & Ale in Dallas in 1969-71.
I would have to say that "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" is my favorite, but "When the Coast is Clear" is one of his best.

What the hell | Reviewer: young surfer
------ About artist/band Jimmy Buffett
What the hell man, get over yourself. Everyone who loves the ocean and what it has to offer can enjoy Jimmy. Ive been to all those places and im only 18, i see no reason why others shouldnt enjoy the music if they havent been there. Why would you rip him down just cause you can't write a song? And even if he doesn't really care about conservation (which he does) why not use his status to influence others to care? And dont act like he wrote the songs for you, there autobiographical, meaning about his life, just thought id explain that cause you from what i read you are most likely at least 75% retarded. All in all old fart surfer is a fucking duesche bag dude ... probably cant even surf. Keep jammin jimmy, don't even pay attention to fuckers like this guy.
True Meanings | Reviewer: Words to the Heart
------ About artist/band Jimmy Buffett
I love all of his songs. No one can put a meaning into a song like Buffet. When I heard his songs for the first time I was like WOW these songs have meaning to them and they are all true.
"We need more fruitcakes in this world and less bakers!" (and it is true)
Now I am officially a Parrothead and am not afraid to show it.
Great Song | Reviewer: Larry James
------ About the song King of Somewhere Hot performed by Jimmy Buffett
This is a great song...pure Buffett. The thing I like the most is he played it live when he was in Anguilla. While there, he played a lot of songs you don't normally hear at a Buffett concert. Very refreshing.
From a younger person | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Trip Around The Sun performed by Jimmy Buffett
Jimmy's been my role model since as far back as i can remember. This song is great, and that's coming from a seventeen year old punk/classic rock fan. Love it. Buffett is just the greatest musician I can think of, even if his style is "lame" to my friends.
Great song, and a note off topic. | Reviewer: Frank
------ About the song Ballad of Spider John performed by Jimmy Buffett
Great Ballad, Well Performed By Buffett in his early country style. On a side note, i wonder if I am the only one to see parallels between "spider John" and Severus Snape of harry potter fame?
Father Daughter Dance | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Little Miss Magic performed by Jimmy Buffett
I love Little Miss Magic. My husband plays in a Buffett cover band. When his daughter got maried, he recorded the song for the Fther Daughter dance at the reception. I was in tears listening to my husband's voice as he danced with his daughter.
Margaritaville | Reviewer: Nancy Crawford
------ About the song Margaritaville Live (Lost Verse Included) performed by Jimmy Buffett
I could be wrong, but for YEARS, I have sworn, that if someone would ask Jimmy Buffet, they would actually find out he is saying, "Log Shaker of salt", not "lost shaker". A "Log Shaker" is a large barrell type of shaker which is often found in rustic locations. I think it actually fits the song better than lost shaker.
One of the best | Reviewer: Big E.
------ About the song Knees Of My Heart performed by Jimmy Buffett
Not many give Buffett the credit he deserves for his wit and literary ability to tell a story, this one is a favorite of my girl and I. Great James, Keep it up!
my sesame street sound track | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About artist/band Jimmy Buffett
i think i may be about the only kid in 6th grade who knows who jimmy buffet is, and thats ok with me.
i have grown up listening to jimmy buffet, and i love his music. the laid back stlye is so easy to listen to anytime, anywhere.
i've tried to introduce my friends to jimmy buffet, but they don't like it. maybe jimmy buffet music is like coffe....an aquried taste.
One of Buffett's Best | Reviewer: Roads Scholar
------ About the song Death Of An Unpopular Poet performed by Jimmy Buffett
"Songs You Know by Heart" lacks two of Jimmy's most profound tunes: "The Captain and the Kid" and "Death of an Unpopular Poet". It's a tragedy that they weren't included on the quintessential Buffet greatest hits compendium. Both these songs truly belong with "He Went to Paris" and "A Pirate Looks at Forty".
lovin Jimmy... | Reviewer: Parrothead Meg
------ About artist/band Jimmy Buffett
I might sound like every other parrothead out there, and say that I love Jimmy, but I really do. Hes an awesome guy, down to earth, cooky, funny, witty, laid back..and all over beach bum to the highest degree. His music captures my heart, and puts me back to those sun filled days in Key West, or sitting on the beach down by the Gulf of Mexico. Jimmy carries the spirit of the islands with him where ever he goes..and thats a true gift.
FINS UP!!!!
Parrothead Meg.
ADDICTIVE! | Reviewer: Judy
------ About the song A Salty Piece Of Land performed by Jimmy Buffett
A wonderful book and a great song. I had the cd so I enjoyed the music too. I was so impressed by Mr. Buffet's style. I listened to the book two times and will undoubtedly listen to it again in the future. The song still goes through my mind. It condenses the story and brings back its heartwarming message.
he's the man | Reviewer: stuart O.
------ About artist/band Jimmy Buffett
I saw him in concert for the 1st time in 1977. It was the last concert of his tour and it was in Austin. I was totaly blown away by his performance.
