Jimmy buffett
if i could just get it on paper
the things that have happened tonight
but that seems to me to be the big key
i'm havin' too good a time to ever turn
out the lights.
Go to bed wake up with a clear head
recalling what made it a ball
if i could just get it on paper
i might make some sense of it all
If i could tell half of the stories
the funny way most things begin
figure ways to disguise all the half truths and lies
find the heart of my song with the point of a pen
simple words can be come clever phrases
and chapters could turn into books
yes if i could just get it on paper
but it's harder than it ever looks.
Instrumental
All alone in the edge of the water
hidin' out by the sea of cortez
with my sketch pads and flairs
tapes and battery spares
It's just no comprehendo to what everyone says
Time alone seemed to work well for faulkner
time away seems to work for the kid
life and ink they run out at the same time
or so said my old friend the squid
Yes if i could just get it on paper tonight
i could tell you what i think i did.
