Align:    
  • By: jimmy buffett
  • 1974
  • The ice cream man hes a hillbilly fan
  • Got seventy-eights by hank snow
  • Walks down the street, shufflin his feet
  • To a rhythm that only he knows
  • And Ive seen him in so many places
  • I saw him the night I was born
  • In a bourbon street bar, I received my first scar
  • From an old man so tattered and torn
  • Chorus:
  • And the wino and I know the pain of street singin
  • Like a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin
  • Strange situation, wild occupation
  • Livin my life like a song
  • Coffee is strong at the cafe du monde
  • Donuts are too hot to touch
  • Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool
  • I eat til I eat way too much
  • cause Im livin on things that excite me
  • Be they pastry or lobster or love
  • Im just tryin to get by bein quiet and shy
  • In a world full of pushin and shove
  • Chorus:
  • And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin
  • Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin
  • Strange situation, wild occupation
  • Livin my life like a song
  • Sweet senorita wont you please come with me
  • Back to the island honey, back to the sea
  • Back to the only place that I want to be
  • Chorus:
  • And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean
  • Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion
  • Strange situation, wild occupation
  • Livin my life like a song
  • Yes its a strange situation, a wild occupation
  • Livin my life like a song
