I am a Parrothead, does anyone else like the music of Jimmy Buffett? I love the sentiment of his songs, mainly drinking and relaxing. He is playing in Paris in September if anyone is interested.

I'll post it here too then biggrin

The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow,
An' so am I.
Work day passes like molasses in wintertime,
But it's July.
I'm gettin' paid by the hour, an' older by the minute.
My boss just pushed me over the limit.
I'd like to call him somethin',
I think I'll just call it a day.

Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.

Oh, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon,
An' half the night.
Tomorrow mornin', I know there'll be hell to pay,
Hey, but that's all right.
I ain't had a day off now in over a year.
Our Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here.
Hit the 'phones for me,
You can tell 'em I just sailed away.

An' pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.

I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab,
An' be back to work before two.
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder,
What would Jimmy Buffet do?

Funny you should ask that because I'd say:
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.

He don't care.
I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.

What time zone am on? What country am I in?
It doesn't matter, it's five o'clock somewhere.
It's always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it.
Yeah, I heard that.
You been there haven't you.
Yessir.
I seen your boat there.
I've been to Margaritaville a few times.
All right, that's good.
Stumbled all the way back.
OK. Just wanna make sure you can keep it between the navigational beacons.
Between the buoys, I tell you.
All right. Well, it's five o'clock. Let's go somewhere.
I'm ready, crank it up.
Let's get out of here.
I'm gone.

Love it, just realised I have been on here near to 10 years and hadn't heard of Jimmy Buffett.

I have a good understanding of the time zones so I can always justify having a boat drink. Non Parrotheads might think this makes me an alcoholic.

Not sure this really belongs in Music as it is more a lifestyle. Hopefully all the Parrotheads will be able to find it and phlock here. Fins Up!

There is another!
Just back from the two shows in Paris. My first two JB concerts and I was not disappointed at all. Will be travelling to many more in 2017 I hope.
Off to see Mac McAnally (for those not familiar - it's pronounced Mac-Ah-Nally) tomorrow.
