Song Lyrics

By: Jimmy Buffett
1977
Now what would they do if I just sailed away
Who the hell really compelled me to leave today
Runnin` low on stories of what made it a ball
What would they do if I made no landfall

I lived half my life in an eight by five room
Just crusin` to the sound of the big diesel boom
It`s not close quarters that would make me snap
It`s just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap

Chorus:
Sail away, for a month at a time
Sail away, I`ve got to restart my mind
And you`ll find me back at it again

Oh, I love the smell of fresh snapper fried light
What you say pouilly-fusse to round out the night
The mid-morning watch is the best time to look
Oh, what would they do if I wrote the big book

`Cause I`ve seen incredible things in my years
Some days were laughter and others were tears
If I had it all to do over again
I`d just get myself drunk and I`d jump right back in

Chorus:
Sail away, that`s the way I survive
Sail away, that`s just no shuck and jive
It just makes my whole life come alive

The wind whistles through the cold riggin` at night
Crazy crowds boogie to the sounds and the lights
Bums down in Capo`s he`s just havin` a ball
What would he do on another landfall
What would they do if I made no landfall
Oh, what would they do if I flew to Nepal
What would I do if I met Lucille Ball
I`m tryin` to make a little sense of it all
Just tryin` to make a little sense of it all
