He Went to Paris - Waylon Jennings

作词：Jimmy Buffett

作曲：Jimmy Buffett

He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions

That bothered him so

He was impressive young and aggressive

Savin' the world on his own

Warm summer breezes French wine and cheeses

Put his ambition at bay

The summers and winters scattered like splinters

And four or five years slipped away

He went to England played the piano and married

An actress named Kim

They had a good life she was a good wife

And bore him a young son named Jim

All of the answers and all of the questions

He locked in his attic one day

'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'

And twenty more years slipped away

War took his baby bombs killed his lady and left him

With only one eye

His body was battered his whole world was shattered

All he could do was just cry

While the tears were fallin' he was recallin'

Answers that he never found

So he hopped in a freighter skidded the ocean

And left England without a sound

Now he lives in the islands

fishes the pilin' and drinks

His Green label each day

Writing his memoirs losin' his hearin'

But he don't care what most people say

After eighty-six years of perpetual motion

If he likes you he'll smile and say

Jimmy some of it's magic probably tragic

But I had a good life all the way

He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions

That bothered him so
