I’m Down In Key West !

I’m down in Key West
I don’t care if you’re pissed
I’m having myself a good time
Laughing and drinking
And not even thinking
Of you azzholes that I left behind
I’d send you a card
But I find it quite hard
To think of a damn thing to say (to you)
‘Cept I’m down in Key West
I hope you all are still pissed
Cause I’m thinking that this time I’ll stay

Songwriter’s Lament

Jimmy Buffett made it big
singing down here in the Keys
But I doubt that I ever will
My hair ain’t that blonde
and my skin ain’t that tanned
Hell, I’ve never even been
to Margaritaville
Now every singer down here in the Keys
Sounds just like Jimmy
And all the girls in the Bars
are wonderin’ where he is
So if you ask me to sing Jimmy Buffett
I’m afraid you’ll just have to stuff it
Cause when Jimmy starts singing my songs
I’ll start singing his
.
It was the same thing when I played
Down in Texas
Sing Willie all the rednecks would yell
But no matter what I would play
I could still hear ‘em say
If you don’t sing Willie
You can just go to Hell
You see every singer in Texas
sounds just like Willie
And all the girls in the Bars
are wonderin’ where he is
If you don’t sing the Redheaded Stranger
In Texas you life is in danger
When Willie starts singing my songs
I’ll start singing his
.
Sh!t, it’s been going on forever
Like in the Rockies
they’d scream for John Denver
In Chicago it was Goodman and Prine
Yes in how many Bars
must I play my guitar
Before they start asking for mine
Cause ever singer in the World
sounds just like someone
But you never know who
until they know who he is
So if it’s Jimmy or Willie you see
won’t you pass this along for me
When they start singing my songs
I’ll start singing theirs
