Jimmy Buffett Floridays (reggae Version) Lyrics

Floridays (reggae Version) Lyrics

I come from where the rivers meet the sea 

That's part of why I'm so wild and fancy free 

I was early into crazy ways 

My folks said, "It's just a phase" 

They were hoping for better days 



Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most 

Write 'em down, pas 'em around 

It's the gospel from the coast 

Reflections, not just replays 

Takin' time to escape the maze 

Lookin' for better days 



I spent a year of my life one night 

On the beaches in old Beirut 

Seems that all they're aimin' for there 

Is to hang around and shoot 

Each others' lives away 

Bloody winds on a distant bay 

They're lookin' for better days 



Looking to the left, looking to the right 

Looking to the stars to shed some light 

Hoping for a breath, hoping for break 

Hopin' for the give without the take 



The dreamers line the state road 

Just to watch the runway show 

Slouched behind their steering wheels 

They just watch the big jets go 

Streakin' through the morning haze 

Focal point of a distant gaze 

Lookin' for better days 



Pale invaders and tanned crusaders 

Are worshipping the sun 

On the corner of "walk" and "don't walk" 

Somewhere on US 1 

I'm back to livin' Floridays 

Blue skies and ultra-violet rays 

Lookin' for better days 



I'm back to livin' Floridays 

Blue skies and ultra-violet rays 

Lookin' for better days, lookin' for better days 

Lookin' for Floridays 



Better days, better days 

Everybody's lookin' for better days 

Somewhere beneath the shining star 

Better days, mon't you take me to better days 

Better days, I sure could use a few better days
