  • By: jimmy buffett
  • 1973
  • He went to paris lookin for answers
  • To questions that bothered him so
  • He was impressive, young and aggressive
  • Savin the world on his own
  • But the warm summer breezes
  • The french wines and cheeses
  • Put his ambition at bay
  • The summers and winters
  • Scattered like splinters
  • And four or five years slipped away
  • Then he went to england, played the piano
  • And married an actress named kim
  • They had a fine life, she was a good wife
  • And bore him a young son named jim
  • And all of the answers and all of the questions
  • Locked in his attic one day
  • cause he liked the quiet clean country livin
  • And twenty more years slipped away
  • Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady
  • And left him with only one eye
  • His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
  • And all he could do was just cry
  • While the tears were a-fallin he was recallin
  • Answers he never found
  • So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean
  • And left england without a sound
  • Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilins
  • And drinks his green label each day
  • Writing his memoirs, losin his hearin
  • But he dont care what most people say
  • Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
  • If he likes you hell smile and hell say
  • Jimmy, some of its magic, some of its tragic
  • But I had a good life all the way
  • Coda:
  • And he went to paris lookin for answers
  • To questions that bothered him so
