Jimmy Buffett - Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw Lyrics
He went to ParisLooking for answersTo questions that bothered him soHe was impressiveYoung and aggressiveSavin the world on his ownBut the warm summer breezesThe French wines and cheesesPut him ambition at bayHis summers and wintersScattered like splintersAnd four to five yeas slipped awayThen he went to EnglandPlayed the pianoAnd married an actress named KimThey had a fine life, she was a good wifeAnd bore him young son named JimAnd all of the answers, and all the questionsHe locked in his attic one dayCause he liked the quietClean country livin andTwenty more years slipped awayWell, the war took his babyBombs killed his ladyAnd left him with only one eyeHis body was batteredHis whole world was shatteredAnd all he could do was just cryWhile the tears were falling and he was recallingAnswers hed never foundSo he hopped on a freighter, skidded the oceanAnd left England without a soundNow he lives in the islandsFishes and pilinsAnd drinks his green label each dayWriting his memoirsLosin his hearinBut he dont care what most peopleThrough eighty-six years of perpetual motionIf he likes you hell smile, and hell say,Jimmy, some of its magic, some of its tragicBut I had a good life all of the way.And he went to ParisLookin for answers to questionsThat bothered him so
