| | Somewhere Over China Lyrics Artist(Band):Jimmy Buffett
By: Jimmy Buffett 1981 For the Crazy Flying Tigers Just a semi-normal person Thought he had the future planned Then he won some silly sweepstakes Now he had a hundred grand Never stopped to think of taxes He was gone before they knew With a flair for ol' romantics To the Orient he flew When they fueled in Papeete Placed a call to Big Mamou With an honest explanation Just to tell the whole damn truth It's his one chance in a million Who'd deny the simple fact 'Twas no use to talk it over He'd be home when he got back Chorus: Now he's somewhere over China Lookin' down on all the trails On the mountains lookin' back at him It's a real live fairy tale Put a little distance Between causes and effects Like a day old fortune cookie Askin' who or what comes next What the hell did Marco Polo think When he ran into the wall Or the crazy Flying Tigers Doin' spins and loops and stalls Just a taste for somethin' different Perking up a borin' day Now our man from Louisiana Feels exactly the same way Chorus: They're all somewhere over China Shanghai or old Peking On a plane or a boat in an envelope Real adventure has its ring Just to put a little distance Between fact and fantasy Still six thousand miles away from Where I'd really rather be How I would love to drive the shuttle Just to feel the engines roar And to operate the levers That control the payload doors I could buzz the Himalayas Barrel roll above Hong Kong Set her down in San Francisco To the clangin' of a gong Chorus: We're all somewhere over China Headin' east or headin' west Takin' time to live a little Flyin' so far from the nest Just to put a little distance Between causes and effects Like an ancient fortune teller Knowin' who and what comes next If you find some error in Somewhere Over China Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?
