Life Is Just a Tire Swing Lyrics |
||
 By: Jimmy Buffett 1974 I remember the smell of the creosote plant When we`d have to eat on Easter with my crazy old uncle and aunt They lived in a big house, antebellum style (antebellum) And the winds would blow across the old bayou And I was a tranquil little child Chorus: Life was just a tire swing `Jambalaya` was the only song I could sing Blackberry pickin`, eatin` fried chicken And I never knew a thing about pain Life was just a tire swing In a few summers my folks packed me off to camp Yeah me and my cousin` Baxter in our pup tent with a lamp And in a few days Baxter went home and he left me by myself But I knew that I`d stay, it was better that way And I could get along without any help Chorus: Life was just a tire swing `Jambalaya` was the only song I could sing Chasin` after sparrows with rubber-tipped arrows Knowin` I could never hurt a thing Life was just a tire swing (tire swing) And I never been west of New Orleans or east of Pensacola My only contact with the outside world was an RCA Victrola And Elvis would sing and then I`d dream about expensive cars And who would`ve figured twenty years later I`d be rubbin` shoulders with the stars Life was just a tire swing Then the other mornin` 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 screamin` "Is he still alive?" Through the window I could see it hangin` from a tree And I knew that I had survived And life is still a tire swing `Jambalaya` is the best song I can sing Blackberry pickin`, eatin` fried chicken But I finally learned a lot about pain Life is just a tire swing (tire swing) Life was just a tire swing (tire swing) Life was just a tire swing (tire swing) Life was just a tire swing (tire swing) |
