Writer: Jimmy Buffett

He went to Paris looking for answers to the
questions that bothered him so

He was impressive, young and aggressive saving
the world on his own

The warm summer breezes and French wine and
cheeses

Put his ambitions at bay

Summers and Winters scattered like splinters and
4 to 5 years slipped away

He went to England played the piano and married
an actress named Kim

They had a good life she was a fine wife and bore
him a young son named Jim

All of the answers to most of the questions
locked in his attic some day

But he liked the quiet clean country living and
20 more years skipped away

Solo:

The war took his baby the bombs killed his lady
and left him with only one eye

His body was battered his whole world was
shattered and

All he could do was just cry

While the tears were falling he was recalling the
answers that he never found

Hopped on a freighter skated the ocean and left
England without a sound

Now he lives in the islands fishes the pilings
and drinking his Green label each day

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

After 86 years of perpetual motion if he likes
you he'll smile and say

Some of it's magic some of it's tragic but I had
a good life all the way

He went to Paris looking for answers to the
questions that bothered him so
