..."Trying to reason with hurricane season..." Jimmy Buffett
I left my shutters on
All season
A hurricane a coming, yeah, I fear
The pressure is dropping, and my fingers are crossing
I'm sitting like a bowling pin on an island in the ocean, down here
Island life is funny
When the seas get rough
We can still feel the rays
When we cannot see the sun
Time to open up the shutters
Let that breeze in
Time to feel the ocean all over our skin
Watchin the weather
Yeah, I'm thinking about the weather
I'm thinking about whether or not I should stay here
It seems everybody's leaving
As my bank account is shrinking
I'm drinking in Islamorada with all my friends
Yeah, Island life is funny when the seas get rough
But in the eye of a hurricane, you can still see the stars if you look up
Time to open up our shutters
Let that breeze in
Time to feel the ocean all over our skin
Time to feel the ocean all over our skin....
Well here we are again my friends
Another year has just gone by
We are never to young
Never to old to smile
As dark clouds go by
Yeah, we let those storms go by
Hurricanes go by
They go North
Island life gets funny
As the seas get rough
In the eye of a hurricane you can see stars
If you look up
And you can still feel the rays when you cannot see the sun
So open up the shutters
And let the breeze in
Feel the ocean all over your skin
I left my shutters on
All season
There's a hurricane a coming
The fourth one this year
Watching the weather
Yeah, I'm thinking about the weather
I'm thinking about whether or not I should stay here
Sitting like a bowling pin
On an island in the ocean down here
Flippin Cups at Gary Bynum's and drinking beers
Wondering whether or not If I should stay here
Well...Gary
Somebody our there better call F.E.M.A
You can have them declare my liver a disaster area
