JIMMY BUFFETT - Barometer Soup lyrics

rate me

Follow in my wake

You've not that much at stake

For I have plowed the seas

And smoothed the troubled waters

Come along let's have some fun

The hard work has been done

We'll barrel roll into the sun

Just for starters

Just for starters

Barometer's my soup

I'm descended from a deckhand on a sloop

I travel on the songlines

That only dreamers see

Not known for predictability

Come and follow in our wake

You've not that much at stake

For we have plowed the seas

And smoothed the troubled waters

Come along let's have some fun

Seems our work is done

We'll barrel roll into the sun

Just for starters

Sail the main course

In a simple sturdy craft

Keep her well stocked

With short stories and long laughs

Go fast enough to get there

But slow enough to see

Moderation seems to be the key

Constantly searchin'

Oh my eyes have seen some horizons

And I've crossed the ocean for more than just thrills

No I'm not the first

Won't be the last

You lust for the future

But treasure the past

Follow in my wake

You've not as much at stake

For I have plowed the seas

And smoothed the troubled waters

Come along let's have some fun

The hard work has been done

We'll barrel roll into the sun

Just for starters

We'll barrel roll into the sun

Just for starters

We'll barrel roll into the sun

Just for starters
