BmAnd I've Gnever been west ofF#m New Orleans nor Emeast of PensaDcola My Gonly contact with theF#m outside world was an E7R.C.A. VicAtrola And BmElvis would sing and then I'd dream aAbout expensive cars and E7who would've figured twenty years later I'd be Arubbin' shoulders E7with the stars F#m7 Life was just a Bmtire swing
[Verse 4] Then the other morning on some Illinois road I fell asleep at the wheel But was quickly wakened up by a 'Ma Bell' telephone pole and a bunch of Grant Wood faces screaming 'Is he still alive?' But through the window I could see it hangin' from a tree and I knew that I had survived [Outro] Life was just a tire swing 'Jambalaya's still the best song that I sing Black-berry pickin', eatin' fried chicken And I finally learned a lot about pain 'Cause life is just a tire swing Life was just a tire swing ------------------------------------------------------------------ A Pirate Looks at 40 By: Jimmy Buffett, 1974 [Verse 1]

[Verse 2] There's something about this Sunday, it's a most peculiar gray Strolling down the avenue that's known as A1A I was feeling tired, then I got inspired And I knew that it wouldn't last long So all alone I walked back home, sat on my beach and then I made up this song [Chorus]

DAnd now I mBmust confess, I couldF#m use some rest GI can't run at thisA7 pace very lDong Yes it's Bmquite insane, I think it F#mhurts my brain But it cGleans me out and theA7n I can go Don (fade)
