Jimmy Buffett - That's What Living Is To Me Lyrics
Thats what living is to meBy: jimmy buffett1988I would like to thank j.d. souther for the book, harry belafonte for the early inspiration and mark twain for taking the trip long ago.-- spoken:Back toward the turn of the century, you know, mark twain took a trip around the world on a steamship and he wrote a book called following the equator. and the opening page has a dedicatHat says, be good, and you will be lonesome, which for me, still seems to work in the fabulous eighties.Jason mason hears the soundThe whistle blows in congo townAnd the mail boats in, mail boats inBrings him things from oh so farOld magazines and snicker barsA simple man, a simple planThe worlds too big to understandChorus:Be good and you will be lonesomeBe lonesome and you will be freeLive a lie and you will live to regret itThats what livin is to meThats what livin is to meOn a timeless beach in hispaniolaYoung girl sips a diet colaShes worlds apart, worlds apartSpirit of the black king stillReverberates through haitian hillsHe rules the sea and all the fishWhat if he had a tv dish?Chorus:Be good and you will be lonesomeBe lonesome and you will be freeLive a lie and you will live to regret itThats what livin is to meThats what livin is to meNow in the far off regions the foreign legionKeep the thieves and the predators at bayWhile closer to home some bad boys still roamThe streets arent safe so give it one more dayOne more dayOne more dayStories from my favorite booksStill take on many different looksAnd Im gone again, home againThe time has come the walrus saidAnd little oysters hide their headMy twain of thought is loosely boundI guess its time to mark this downChorus:Be good and you will be lonesomeBe lonesome and you will be freeLive a lie and you will live to regret itThats what livin is to meThats what livin is to meThats what livin is to meThats what livin is to me-- spoken:Thank you, mark.
