Living To Live - BNYX®

That's What Living is to Me By: Jimmy Buffett 1988 I would like to thank J.D. Souther for the book, Harry Belafonte for the early inspiration and Mark Twain for taking the trip long ago. -- Spoken: "Back toward the turn of the century, you know, Mark Twain took a trip around the world on a steamship and he wrote a book called 'Following the Equator'. And the opening page has a dedication that says, 'Be good, and you will be lonesome,' which for me, still seems to work in the fabulous eighties." Jason Mason hears the sound The whistle blows in Congo town And the mail boat's in, mail boat's in Brings him things from oh so far Old magazines and Snicker bars A simple man, a simple plan The world's too big to understand Be good and you will be lonesome Be lonesome and you will be free Live a lie and you will live to regret it That's what livin' is to me That's what livin' is to me On a timeless beach in Hispaniola Young girl sips a diet cola She's worlds apart, worlds apart Spirit of the black king still Reverberates through Haitian hills He rules the sea and all the fish What if he had a TV dish? Be good and you will be lonesome Be lonesome and you will be free Live a lie and you will live to regret it That's what livin' is to me That's what livin' is to me Now in the far off regions the foreign legion Keep the thieves and the predators at bay While closer to home some bad boys still roam The streets aren't safe so give it one more day One more day One more day Stories from my favorite books Still take on many different looks And I'm gone again, home again The time has come the walrus said And little oysters hide their head My Twain of thought is loosely bound I guess it's time to Mark this down Be good and you will be lonesome Be lonesome and you will be free Live a lie and you will live to regret it That's what livin' is to me That's what livin' is to me That's what livin' is to me That's what livin' is to me -- Spoken: "Thank you, Mark."

You jump in front of my car when you, You know all the time that Ninrty miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive You tell me its alright, you dont mind a little pain You say you just want me to take you for a ride You're just like crosstown traffic So hard to get through to you Crosstown traffic I don't need to run over you Crosstown traffic All you do is slow me down And Im tryin' to get on the other side of town I'm not the only soul whos accused of hit and run Tire tracks all across your back I can see you had your fun But darlin' cant you see my signals turn from green to red And with you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead You're just like crosstown traffic So hard to get through to you Crosstown traffic I don't need to run over you Crosstown traffic All you do is slow me down And I got better things on the other side of town

How can I be the one To make you sing Be the one to embrace All the joys you bring How can I be the one To dry the tears When you been let down And hurt How can I be the one To make you laugh Be the steps that you take Out on broken glass So many things I wanna say to you What can I do What can I do 'Cause I'm living to die But I'm still by your side I know love will survive We're all We're all living to die What if I was to say to you There's no difference Between me and you No more politics or religion to Will tear us apart Will tear us apart 'Cause I'm living to die But I'm still by your side I know love will survive Were all Were all Aha 'Cause I'm living to die But I'm still by your side I know love will surive Were all Were all Were all Living to die
