Remittance Man - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]
Sinner on the mainland[00:00:15]
He's a sinner on the sea[00:00:19]
He looks for absolution[00:00:22]
Not accountability[00:00:26]
How many destinations[00:00:30]
Oh God he's seen them all[00:00:33]
He collects his precious pittance[00:00:37]
Never a port of call[00:00:41]
Remittance Man[00:00:46]
Black sheep of the family clan[00:00:51]
Broke too many rules along the way[00:00:55]
Remittance Man[00:01:01]
So far away from home[00:01:06]
No they'll never understand[00:01:09]
The Remittance Man[00:01:12]
A man of empty pockets[00:01:17]
From jingling his change[00:01:21]
The idleness and grieving[00:01:24]
For all that he retains[00:01:28]
By the harbour lights of Sydney[00:01:31]
Or the Bora Bora moon[00:01:35]
He recites his sad confession[00:01:39]
To the seagulls and the loons[00:01:43]
Remittance Man[00:01:48]
Black sheep of the family clan[00:01:53]
Broke too many rules along the way[00:01:56]
Remittance Man[00:02:03]
So far away from home[00:02:07]
No they'll never understand[00:02:11]
The Remittance Man[00:02:14]
Well you can claim that you were born a prince[00:02:19]
But you're the only one you can convince[00:02:26]
Survivor with no livelihood[00:02:34]
That you could ever make it good[00:02:37]
But still you dream of what you can pretend[00:02:41]
An unexpected passenger[00:03:24]
Boarded in Marseilles[00:03:28]
An angel full of tenderness[00:03:32]
She gave her heart away[00:03:35]
She was but a gypsy[00:03:39]
He was just a stray[00:03:43]
They almost made a miracle but it slowly slipped away[00:03:47]
So he follows the equator[00:03:54]
With a wish to run aground[00:03:58]
It's a very vicious circle[00:04:02]
Goin' round and round and round[00:04:05]
And he watches from the fantail[00:04:09]
As the mainland disappears[00:04:13]
Just like the Flying Dutchman[00:04:17]
He's a prisoner of his fears[00:04:20]
Remittance Man[00:04:25]
Black sheep of the family clan[00:04:30]
Broke too many rules along the way[00:04:34]
Remittance Man[00:04:40]
So far away from home[00:04:45]
No they'll never understand[00:04:48]
No they'll never understand[00:04:52]
No they'll never understand[00:04:56]
The Remittance Man[00:05:00]
