Song Lyrics

By: Jimmy Buffett
1974
I wanna back to the island
Where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin`
Gimme oysters and beer
For dinner every day of the year and I`ll feel fine
I`ll feel fine

Chorus:
I wanna be there
Wanna go back down and lie beside the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
And I`m a` chewin` on a honeysuckle vine

Yeah now, the sun goes slidin` `cross the water
Sailboats they go searchin` for the breeze
Salt air it ain`t thin
It can stick right to your skin and make you feel fine
Makes you feel fine

Chorus:
I wanna be there
Wanna go back down and a` get high by the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
And I`m a` chewin` on a honeysuckle vine

Yes and now you heard my strange proposal
So get that Packard runnin` and let`s move
I wanna be there before the day
Tries to steal away and leave us behind
I`ve made up my mind

Chorus:
And I wanna be there
I wanna go back down and die beside the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
And I`ll be chewin` on a honeysuckle vine

Coda:
Yeah with a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
And I`m a` chewin` on a honeysuckle vine

Again... To Miss Jane
