Somewhere Over China - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]
Just a semi-normal person[00:00:16]
Thought he had the future planned[00:00:21]
Then he won some silly sweepstakes[00:00:26]
Now he had a hundred grand[00:00:30]
Never stopped to think of taxes[00:00:34]
He was gone before they knew[00:00:39]
With a flair for ol' romantics[00:00:43]
To the Orient he flew[00:00:47]
When they fueled in Papeete[00:00:54]
Placed a call to Big Mamou[00:00:59]
With an honest explanation[00:01:03]
Just to tell the whole damn truth[00:01:07]
It's his one chance in a million[00:01:12]
Who'd deny the simple fact[00:01:16]
'Twas no use to talk it over[00:01:21]
He'd be home when he got back[00:01:25]
Chorus:[00:01:28]
Now he's somewhere over China[00:01:31]
Lookin' down on all the trails[00:01:36]
On the mountains lookin' back at him[00:01:41]
It's a real live fairy tale[00:01:45]
Put a little distance[00:01:50]
Between causes and effects[00:01:53]
Like a day old fortune cookie[00:01:56]
Askin' who or what comes next[00:02:02]
What the hell did Marco Polo think[00:02:09]
When he ran into the wall[00:02:14]
Or the crazy Flying Tigers[00:02:18]
Doin' spins and loops and stalls[00:02:22]
Just a taste for somethin' different[00:02:27]
Perking up a borin' day[00:02:31]
Now our man from Louisiana[00:02:36]
Feels exactly the same way[00:02:40]
Chorus:[00:02:43]
They're all somewhere over China[00:02:46]
Shanghai or old Peking[00:02:51]
On a plane or a boat in an envelope[00:02:55]
Real adventure has its ring[00:03:00]
Just to put a little distance[00:03:04]
Between fact and fantasy[00:03:08]
Still six thousand miles away from[00:03:13]
Where I'd really rather be[00:03:17]
How I would love to drive the shuttle[00:03:42]
Just to feel the engines roar[00:03:47]
And to operate the levers[00:03:51]
That control the payload doors[00:03:55]
I could buzz the Himalayas[00:04:00]
Barrel roll above Hong Kong[00:04:04]
Set her down in San Francisco[00:04:09]
To the clangin' of a gong[00:04:13]
Chorus:[00:04:16]
We're all somewhere over China[00:04:20]
Headin' east or headin' west[00:04:24]
Takin' time to live a little[00:04:29]
Flyin' so far from the nest[00:04:33]
Just to put a little distance[00:04:37]
Between causes and effects[00:04:42]
Like an ancient fortune teller[00:04:47]
Knowin' who and what comes next[00:04:51]
