Jimmy Buffett - In The Shelter Lyrics
By: jimmy buffett1971In the shelterIn the mornin' as the sun was brightly beamingI heard her crying out, "what is it all about?I just don't know, but i can't go back home."Lonely princessAll the days out on your own are growing emptyNothing is going wellIf you could only tell them how you feelThey're too real to understandChorus:Too many trite expressionsEnding in forced rejections long agoToo many innocent facesToo many far out places something's wrongLet me tell you that something's wrongIt's been that way so long, and it's a shameOn the street carTo the city where she knows that she might lose it allRiding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet timeAnd knowing well this could be her final fallPast the boutiqueDown the alley to the river, people pass her bySits on the big gray rocks, takes off her boots and socksAnd knowing what she will do next just starts to cryChorus:Too many small suggestionsEndin' in angry questions from her dadToo many t.v. dinnersAnd everyone loves a winner, but she was lostNo one knows the trials she hadIn the shelterIn the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleamingI heard her crying out, "what is it all about?I just don't know, but i can't go back home."Lord, i just don't know, but i can't go back home.
