Incommunicado

 

Incommunicado Lyrics

By: Jimmy Buffett, Deborah McColl, M.L. Benoit
1980
For the Duke and Travis McGee
Travis McGee`s still in Cedar Key
That`s what ol` John MacDonald said
My rendezvous`s so long overdue
With all of the things I`ve sung and I`ve read
They still apply to me
They all make sense in time

Chorus:
But now I`m incommunicado
Drivin` by myself down the road with a hole in it
Songs with no vibrato
Takin` the long way home

Now on the day that John Wayne died
I found myself on the continental divide
Tell me where do I go from here
Think I`ll ride into Leadville and have a few beers
I think of "Red River" or "Liberty Valance"
Can`t believe the old man`s gone

Chorus:
But now he`s incommunicado
Leavin` such a hole in a world that believed
That a life with such bravado
Was takin` the right way home

So when I finished that last line
I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it
Never wastin` time takin` the right way home
I know I`m never wastin` time findin` the right way home

Chorus:
Still I am incommunicado
Livin` next door to a leg with a pin in it
Life with such bravado
Is takin` the right way home

Tryin` to make it
Tryin` to fake it
Tryin` to take it home

Tryin` to make it
Tryin` to fake it
Tryin` to take it home

I know I`m...
Tryin` to make it
Sometimes I fake it
Tryin` to take it home

All I`m doing is...
Tryin` to make it
Tryin` to fake it
Tryin` to take it home

But now I`m incommunicado...
