Jimmy Buffett - The Pascagoula Run

The Queen Of The World was a real Parrot Head.  She has given me a list of some of Buffett's less well known songs that she thinks are significant.  I'll be posting one of these a day for the next few days.

First up is Pascagoula Run because that's where he was born.

Pascagoula Run (Songwriters: Jimmy Buffett, Ray R Oliver)

Billy rolled in to my drive-in
Red convertable sixty-five
Headed home to Mississippi, he'd been around the world
That black sheep uncle of mine
His ship had come in, he was looking to sin
Feeling his old song
When he rolled thru the car with a real hard drive, he said:
"Here's where ya come along!"

It's time to see the world
It's time to kiss a girl
It's time to cross the wild meridian
Grab your bag and take a chance
Time to learn a Cajun dance
Kids you're gonna see the morning sun
On the Pascagoula run
Were on the Pascagoula run

Friday night at the Stateline bar
Where the waterfront people dwell
I better watch my step if the floor caves in
I'll go right straight to hell
Hey There were pinball machines and cajun queens
Men with knives and scars
Well we rolled 'cross the floor to the real hard core
And said, "Here's where it gets bizarre"

Chorus:
It's time to see the world
It's time to kiss a girl
It's time to cross the wild meridian
Grab your bag and take a chance
Time to learn a Cajun dance
Kids you're gonna see the morning sun
On the Pascagoula run
Were on Pascagoula run

Well lets run

What do the ladies say, what do the ladies say
What do the ladies say, what do the ladies say
What do the ladies say, what do the ladies say
What do the ladies say, what do the ladies say

Bring that young man over here
We're going to buy that boy a beer
And that ain't all were gunna do
Bring your crazy uncle too

It's time to see the world
It's time to kiss a girl
It's time to cross the wild meridian
Grab your bag and take a chance
Time to learn a Cajun dance
Kids you're gonna see the morning sun
On the Pascagoula run
Were on the Pascagoula run
Have fun on the Pascagoula run
Take a ride on the Pascagoula run
