@SONG: Wonder Why We Ever Go Home

Intro: G C/G G
Years grow shor[C/D]ter, not longer[C/D]
The more you’ve been on your own[C/D]
Feelin’s for [C/D]movin’ grow stronger[C/D]
So you wonder why you ever go home
Wonder why you ever go home[C/G]

People are movin’ so quickly
Humor’s in need of repair
Same occupations and same obligations
They’ve really go nothing to share
Like drivin’ around with no spare

River gets deeper not shallow
The further you move down the stream
Wonderin’ if I can keep her
As I race to catch up with my dreams
How they shine and glitter and gleam

Years grow shorter, not longer
The more you’ve been on your own
Feelin’s for movin’ grow stronger
So you wonder why you ever go home
Wonder why you ever go home
You wonder why you ever go home

(This song is from the “Changes in Latitudes…” album
and the box set)

By J. Winchester (As performed by Jimmy Buffett)

Down around Biloxi
Pretty girls are swimmin’ in the sea
They all look like sisters in the ocean
Boy will fill his pale with salty water
And the storms will blow from off towards New Orleans

The Sun shines on Biloxi
The air is filled with vapors from the sea
The boy will dig a pool beside the ocean
He sees creatures from his dreams underwater
And the Sun will set from off towards New Orleans

(solo) G D A

Stars can see Biloxi
Stars can find their faces in the sea
We are walking down beside the ocean
We are splashing naked in the water
And the sky is red from off towards New Orleans

Why Don’t We Get Drunk

By Marvin Gardens (As performed by Jimmy Buffett)

I really do, appreciate the fact you’re sittin’ here.
Your voice sounds so wonderful but your face don’t
look too clear.
So barmaid bring a pitcher, another round o’ brew,
Honey why don’t we get drunk and screw…

(Chorus:)
Why don’t we get drunk and screw?
I just bought a waterbed filled up for me and you.
They say you are a snuff queen,
Honey I don’t think that’s true.
So, why don’t we get drunk and screw.

(spoken: “Take it Coral Reefers, here we go…”;) violin solo

Why don’t we get drunk and screw?
I just bought a waterbed (it’s) filled up for me and you.()
They say you are a snuff queen,
Honey I don’t think that’s true.
So, why don’t we get drunk and screw?
Yeah, now baby I say, “Lord!,” ()
Why don’t we get drunk and screw.

()- or “Chord!” or “More Beer!” or whatever you like… 🙂 ‘hic
()- on “Feeding Frenzy” alternate verse:
“I just bought a waterbed filled up with Elmer’s Glue!…”

Intro: D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D A Asus2 A

Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roaring by,

Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby

Beside the southern ocean, taking thought of what’s to be

Writing you this letter that you’ll prob’ly never see

But I can't help but be ruled by inconsistancies, now you need this distantly
in love.

Tried to phone from Paris, thinking things could be arranged

Me and you would roundez-vous, but I found your number changed

So I drove to San Ramos where the crazy painter dwells

Toasted our old photographs still up there on the shelves

But I can’t help but be ruled by my intiguities, now you need this distantly
in love

Instrumental
|D G A D 😐

I can’t be the one to fill your times and all your places

I can’t be the one to fill your blanks and empty spaces

I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay

You had a new lover who had stolen you away

That could be the reason that I never got in touch

He presents like problems if he loves you half as much

‘Cause I who can’t help but be ruled by my intiguities now you need this
distantly in love

You know I can’t help but be part of my own philosophies, now you need this
distantly in

love

I’ve been playing this song for years, but I never actually wrote it down to
send it in until now. The best memory I have of this song is when Jimmy did
it acoustic both nights at Irvine Meadows in Irvine, CA on the ’94 Fruitcakes
tour. Anyhoo, Enjoy!
