[00:00.00]He Went To Paris - Jimmy Buffett
[00:17.40]He went to paris lookin for answers
[00:21.35]To questions that bothered him so
[00:25.90]He was impressive young and aggressive
[00:29.94]Savin the world on his own
[00:35.84]But the warm summer breezes
[00:37.89]The french wines and cheeses
[00:40.42]Put his ambition at bay
[00:46.06]The summers and winters
[00:48.05]Scattered like splinters
[00:50.01]And four or five years slipped away
[00:56.46]Then he went to england played the piano
[01:00.48]And married an actress named kim
[01:04.86]They had a fine life she was a good wife
[01:08.51]And bore him a young son named jim
[01:14.61]And all of the answers and all of the questions
[01:18.90]Locked in his attic one day
[01:24.49]Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin
[01:28.62]And twenty more years slipped away
[01:49.99]Well the war took his baby
[01:52.44]The bombs killed his lady
[01:54.20]And left him with only one eye
[01:58.30]His body was battered
[02:00.35]His whole world was shattered
[02:02.14]And all he could do was just cry
[02:07.64]While the tears were a-fallin he was recallin
[02:12.57]Answers he never found
[02:17.97]So he hopped on a freighter skidded the ocean
[02:21.73]And left england without a sound
[02:35.33]Now he lives in the islands fishes the pilins
[02:39.51]And drinks his green label each day
[02:43.64]Writing his memoirs losin his hearin
[02:47.30]But he don't care what most people say
[02:53.15]Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
[02:56.98]If he likes you hell smile and hell say
[03:02.63]Jimmy some of its magic some of its tragic
[03:06.73]But I had a good life all the way
[03:12.90]And he went to paris lookin for answers
[03:16.40]To questions that bothered him so
