coastal confessions
Singer:buffett, jimmy
well i'm a tidal pool explorer
from the days of my misspent youth. i believe that down on the beach
where the sea gulls preach
is where the chinese buried the truth. so i dig in the sand
hell i just might dig it up. talking about treasure
now i'm a reader of the night sky
and a singer of inordinate tunes. that's how i float across time
like a long lost baby's balloon. so i hang on to the string
work that whole gravity thing
but when my space ship goes pop
back to the earth i will drop
and i don't know what i'm supposed to do
maybe invent me a story or two
i've got coastal confessions to make
they say that time is like a river
and stories are the key to the past
but now i'm stuck in between
here at my typing machine
trying to come up with some words that will last. it's so easy to see that we live history
and if i just find the beat
does it comes from above. and i don't know what i'm supposed to do
maybe invent me a story or two
i've got coastal confessions to make
sonny. so bless me father
yes i have sinned. given the chance i'll probably do it again
just a simple solution will do. so let's talk about the future
or the consequences of my past
just an altar boy coverin' his ass. i know i can't run and hide
but just hang on for the ride
there will be laughter and tears
as we progress through the years
and i don't know what i'm supposed to do
maybe have me a boat drink or two
it's just the coastal confessions i hear
i've got some coastal confessions to make
42 years since my last confession
do you have the rest of the week?
