Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season
--------------------------------------
[Words and Music by Jimmy Buffett, (c) 1974 ss Music Corp.]
[tab]
Squalls out on the gulf stream, big storms comin soon.[/tab]
[tab]
I passed out in my hammock, God, I slept till way past noon.[/tab]
[tab]
Stood up and tried to focus,[/tab]
[tab]
I hoped I wouldn t have to look far.[/tab]
[tab]
I knew I could use a Bloody Mary,[/tab]
[tab]
so I stumbled next door to the bar.[/tab]
Chorus:
[tab]
And now I must confess, I could use some rest.[/tab]
[tab]
I can t run at this pace very long.[/tab]
[tab]
Yes it s quite insane, I think it hurts my brain.[/tab]
[tab]
But it cleans me out and then I can go on.[/tab]
2.
There s something about this Sunday, it s a most peculiar gray.
Strolling down the avenue that s known as A1A.
I was feeling tired, then I got inspired.
And I knew that it wouldn t last long.
So all alone I walked back home, sat on my beach
and then I made up this song.
(repeat chorus)
3.
Well, the wind is blowin harder now, fifty knots or there abouts.
There s white caps on the ocean, and I m watchin for waterspouts.
It s time to close the shutters, it s time to go inside.
In a week I ll be in gay Paris;
Well that s a mighty long airplane ride.
(repeat chorus and fade)
