concert was fun

6/10/2008 9:39:20 PM

i'm just tryin to get by
being quiet and shy
in a world full of pushin and shovin

6/12/2008 8:22:59 AM

after all these years i've found
my occupational hazard to be
my occupation's just not around

6/12/2008 9:52:21 PM

the wino and i know the joy of the ocean

7/13/2008 2:08:47 AM

With no plans for the future
He still seems in control
From a bronco ride to a ten foot tide
He just had to learn to roll

Roll with the punches
Play all of his hunches
Make the best of whatever came his way
What he lacked in ambition
He made up with intuition
Plowing straight ahead come what may

7/13/2008 2:17:23 AM

and came back a faggot.

7/13/2008 2:57:40 AM

squalls out on the gulf stream
big storm's comin' soon
passed out in my hammock
god i slept 'til way past noon

7/13/2008 3:00:53 AM

so many nights i just dream of the ocean
god i wish i was sailing again

7/13/2008 3:03:59 AM

if we weren't all crazy
we would go insane

8/5/2008 8:53:01 PM

salt air, it ain't thin
it can stick right to your skin
and make you feel fine

8/14/2008 7:46:32 AM

writing his memoirs
losing his hearing
but he don't care what most people say

8/29/2008 11:34:06 PM

i wanna go back
to the island

10/1/2008 10:00:42 PM

from the bottom of my heart
off the coast of carolina

10/27/2008 8:04:35 PM

going to paris on dec. 24th - very excited

10/27/2008 8:05:24 PM

i go down and talk to me
when the coast is clear

11/17/2008 1:15:30 AM

losing his hearing
but he don't care what most people say

12/22/2008 12:35:09 AM

looking for answers
to questions that bothered him so

1/25/2009 12:35:21 AM

and if it doesn't work out
there'll never be any doubt
that the pleasure was worth all the pain

1/25/2009 10:16:53 PM

Daddy chops that sugar cane
One day he fell dead
Jesus had a wandering feeling
just swimming around in his head

Sailing on a midnight boat
there were no questions asked
the air was so clean, and the water so green
he just stuck right to his task

Havana daydreamin'
Boy, he's just schemin'
his life away

1/26/2009 8:35:31 AM

and now I must confess
I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long

yes, it's quite insane
I think it hurts my brain
but it cleans me out, and then I can go on


well, the wind is blowing harder now
Fifty knots, or thereabouts
There's whitecaps on the ocean, and I'm watching for waterspouts
It's time to close the shutters
It's time to go inside
In a week I'll be in gay Paris, and that's a mighty long airplane ride

nice weather got my singing this one....

The five oclock friday blows
I got to let it go
Put on my weekend clothes
Turn on the rock n roll

Throw all our cares away
Its a ragtop day
Its a ragtop day

Classy little white and red
Turns everybodys head
My baby meets me at the five and dime
Shes always right on time

We roll all our cares away
Its a ragtop day
Its a ragtop day

Well cruise across the county line
A little dance and dine
A drive in picture show
When the midnights comin down were headin back to town
She lets her lovin show

2/8/2009 1:23:54 PM

Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday
Better think about the wish I made
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun

2/13/2009 8:22:40 AM

Screw boats, bars, and beaches.

Just gimme the ballads.

2/13/2009 8:47:54 AM

boats is my favorite, for obvious reasons

2/13/2009 2:55:28 PM

Some of them are running from lovers,
leaving no forward address
Some of them are running tons of ganja
Some are running from the IRS

Late at night, you will find them
In the cheap hotels and bars
Hustling the senoritas, while they dance beneath the stars

Spending those renegade pesos
On a bottle of rum and a lime
Singing give me some words I can dance to,
Or a melody divine


First you learn the native customs
Soon a word of spanish or two
You know that you cannot trust them
and they know they can't trust you

Expatriated Americans
feeling so all alone
Telling themselves the same lies
that they told themselves back home

2/21/2009 4:55:47 PM

Now my girl quickly said to me
Man, you'd better watch your feet
That lava comes out soft and hot
You better lova me now or lova me not


sooo...who is going to the concert on april 23rd? tailgating should be better than last summer when it was 105 degrees. i got lawn tickets

3/6/2009 11:05:44 AM

3/6/2009 11:37:34 AM

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

3/6/2009 8:54:51 PM

i wish i had've waited until after my 21st to go see buffett. but i'm not going this year.

3/6/2009 8:59:38 PM

lookin' for answers
to questions
that bothered him so

5/28/2009 10:04:16 PM

but there's this one particular harbor
so far but yet so near
where i see the days as they fade away
and finally...disappear

5/28/2009 10:06:23 PM

it's just one of those days....

FINS to the left!
FINS to the right!
Left!
Right!

Were stayin’ in a Holiday Inn full of surgeons
I guess they meet there once a year
They exchange physician stories
And get drunk on Tuborg beer
Then they’re off to catch a stripper
With their eyes glued to her G
But I don’t think that I would ever let them cut on me

5/31/2009 10:13:50 PM

where it all ends, i can't fathom my friends
if i knew, i might toss out my anchor

5/31/2009 10:18:39 PM

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

5/31/2009 10:23:36 PM

So barmaid bring a pitcher
another round of brew

6/1/2009 4:32:09 AM

i'll cruise along, always searchin' for songs
not a lawyer, a theif, or a banker

6/1/2009 8:19:25 AM

jimmy, some of it's magic
some of it's tragic
but i had a good life all the way

6/3/2009 1:49:01 PM

now he lives in the islands
fishes the pilings
and drinks his green label each day
writing his memoirs
losing his hearing
but he don't care what most people say

6/3/2009 5:26:32 PM

And now I must confess, I could use some rest
I cant run at this pace very long
Yes its quite insane, I think it hurts my brain
But it cleans me out and then I can go on

6/8/2009 6:37:35 PM

ice cream man
he's a hillbilly fan

6/8/2009 8:55:52 PM

salt air, it ain't thin
it'll stick right to your skin
and make ya feel fine

coffee is strong at the cafe du monde
the donuts are too hot to touch
but just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool
i eat til i eat way too much

cause i'm livin on things that excite me
be they pastry or lobster or loooooove
and i'm just trying to get by
bein quiet and shy
in a world full of pushin and shovin

and the wino and i know the pain of back bustin
like the farmer knows the pain
of his pick-up truck rustin
strange situation, wild occupation
livin my life like a song

7/2/2009 10:37:15 AM

i wanna go back
to the island
where the shrimp boats
tie up
to the pilings
gimme oysters and beer
for dinner every day of the year
and i feel fine
i've made up my mind

8/7/2009 2:53:45 PM

^ win

i wanna be there
i 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'll be chewin
on a honeysuckle vine

8/7/2009 2:55:52 PM

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

I am soooo ready for the Labor Day weekend show. This will be my 5th Jimmy show.

8/7/2009 2:56:40 PM

now the sun goes slidin' cross the water
sailboats will go searchin' for the breeze
salt air it ain't thin
it can stick right to your skin
and make ya feel fine
it makes you feel fiiiiiiiine

8/7/2009 2:58:33 PM

set em up

8/7/2009 3:08:38 PM
