  • Cowboy in the jungle
  • By: jimmy buffett
  • 1978
  • Theres a cowboy in the jungle
  • And he looks so out of place
  • With his shrimpskin boots and his cheap cheroots
  • And his skin as white as paste
  • Headin south to paraguay
  • Where the gauchos sing and shout
  • Now hes stuck in porto bello
  • Since his money all ran out
  • So he hangs out with the sailors
  • Night and day theyre raisin hell
  • And his original destinations just another
  • Story that he loves to tell
  • With no plans for the future
  • He still seems in control
  • From a bronco ride to a ten foot tide
  • He just had to learn to roll
  • Chorus:
  • Roll with the punches
  • Play all of his hunches
  • Make the best of whatever came his way
  • What he lacked in ambition
  • He made up with intuition
  • Plowing straight ahead come what may
  • Steel band in the distance
  • And their music floats across the bay
  • While american women in moomoos
  • Talk about all the things they did today
  • And their husbands quack about fishing
  • As they slug those rum drinks down
  • Discussing who caught what and who sat on his butt
  • But its the only show in town.
  • Chorus:
  • Theyre tryin to drink all the punches
  • They all may lose their lunches
  • Tryin to cram lost years into five or six days
  • Seems that blind ambition erased their intuition
  • Plowin straight ahead come what may.
  • I dont want to live on that kind of island
  • No I dont want to swim in a roped off sea
  • Too much for me, too much for me
  • Ive got to be where the wind and the water are free.
  • Alone on a midnight passage
  • I can count the falling stars
  • While the southern cross and the satellites
  • They remind me of where we are
  • Spinning around in circles
  • Living it day to day
  • And still twenty four hours may be sixty good years
  • Its still not that long a stay.
  • Chorus:
  • Weve gotta roll with the punches
  • Learn to play all of our hunches
  • Makin the best of whatever comes your way
  • Forget that blind ambition
  • And learn to trust your intuition
  • Plowin straight ahead come what may
  • And theres a cowboy in the jungle
