Jimmy Buffett — Son Of A Son Of A Sailor Live

[Verse 1] As the son of a son of a sailor I went out on the sea for adventure Expanding the view of the captain and crew Like a man just released from indenture [Verse 2] As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man I have chalked up many a mile Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks And I learned much from both of their styles [Chorus] Son of a son, son of a son Son of a son of a sailor Son of a gun, load the last ton One step ahead of the jailer [Verse 3] Now away in the near future Southeast of disorder You can shake the hand of the mango man As he greets you at the border [Verse 4] And the lady she hails from Trinidad Island of the spices Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet And the rum is for all your good vices [Verse 5] Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind That our forefathers harnessed before us Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings It's a son of a gun of a chorus [Verse 6] Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends If I knew I might toss out my anchor So I cruise along always searchin' for songs Not a lawyer a thief or a banker [Chorus] But a son of a son, son of a son Son of a son of a sailor Son of a gun, load the last ton One step ahead of the jailer [Chorus] I'm just a son of a son, son of a son Son of a son of a sailor The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
