jimmy buffett – turnabout lyrics
as large as life she stood there
kissed my cheek and called my old nickname
and though several years had p-ssed
both of us still looked quite the same
i said hi, relaxed a bit then asked her how she’d been all these years
she told me she was feeling fine and came to see a friend who lived up
here
she told me she had finished school
and then went on to college for a year
i asked if she had married
and slowly down her cheek there came a tear
she said just an itchy eye it must be the weather way up here
told her i can’t stand the cold
it freezes me and i can’t feel my ears
we talked a bit about mobile
and thought about how it has never changed
i told her i was comin’ home to spend some time
and hoped it wouldn’t rain
she asked if she could see me then
and we could spend some time now and then
because i lived so far away
was still no chance why we could not be friends
i drove her to the waiting plane
and watched that big jet streaking through the sky
thought about the sad young girl
and the time that i just saw her cry
that flame must still be burning bright
i think i’ll catch a later flight today
it’s time for me to go on home and spend a day or two down by the bay
