Jimmy Buffett - The Wino And I Know Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The ice cream man he's a hillbilly fan,
  • He's got seventy-eights by Hank Snow;
  • Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet,
  • To the rhythm that only he knows.
  • And I've seen him in so many places,
  • I saw him the night I was born;
  • In a Bourbon Street bar I received my first scar
  • From an old man so tattered and torn.
  • And the Wino and I know the pains of street singin'
  • Like the door-to-door salesman knows
  • the pains of bell ringin'
  • It's a strange situation,
  • a wild occupation,
  • Living my life like a song.
  • Well the coffee is strong
  • at the Cafe Du Monde,
  • And the donuts are too hot to touch;
  • But just like a fool, when those
  • sweet goodies cool, I ate 'til I ate way too much.
  • Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me,
  • Be they pastries or lobsters or love;
  • I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy,
  • In a world full of pushin' and shove.
  • And the Wino and I know the pains of backbustin',
  • Like the farmer knows the pain of his pick-up
  • truck rustin'.
  • It's a strange situation, a wild occupation,
  • Living my life like a song.
  • Sweet Senorita, Won't you please come with me?
  • Back to the island, honey, back to the sea;
  • Back to the only place that I want to be.
  • And the Wino and I know the joys of the ocean,
  • Like a boy knows the joys of his milkshake
  • in motion.
  • It's a strange situation, a wild occupation,
  • Living my life like a song.
