Stranded on a sandbar
By: jimmy buffett
1979
I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin' around
Like the wind that blows
Tide that flows
Have my ups and downs
All a part of some strange plan i'm sure
Start a new chapter each day
Honey, love gets lost, time gets tossed
'cause we've both got our own different ways
Chorus:
I feel like i'm stranded on a sandbar
Stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin' it for all that it's worth
I'm just payin' for my sins on earth
Now i used to go crazy for days at a time
Now i'm takin' my time with my days
Haven't found the answers like some that i know
I'm just stuck in a fairly nice maze
Climb to the top of the island tonight
Sit beneath the cashew tree
I want to count the stars, lights on the cars
That are shinin' up and down on me
Chorus:
I feel like i'm stranded on a sandbar
Baby i'm stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin' it for all that it's worth
I'm just payin' for my sins on earth
Chorus:
I feel like i'm stranded on a sandbar
Sugar i'm stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin' it for all that it's worth
I'm just payin' for my sins on earth
Coda:
I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin' around
