  • Somewhere over china
  • By: jimmy buffett
  • 1981
  • For the crazy flying tigers
  • Just a semi-normal person
  • Thought he had the future planned
  • Then he won some silly sweepstakes
  • Now he had a hundred grand
  • Never stopped to think of taxes
  • He was gone before they knew
  • With a flair for ol romantics
  • To the orient he flew
  • When they fueled in papeete
  • Placed a call to big mamou
  • With an honest explanation
  • Just to tell the whole damn truth
  • Its his one chance in a million
  • Whod deny the simple fact
  • twas no use to talk it over
  • Hed be home when he got back
  • Chorus:
  • Now hes somewhere over china
  • Lookin down on all the trails
  • On the mountains lookin back at him
  • Its a real live fairy tale
  • Put a little distance
  • Between causes and effects
  • Like a day old fortune cookie
  • Askin who or what comes next
  • What the hell did marco polo think
  • When he ran into the wall
  • Or the crazy flying tigers
  • Doin spins and loops and stalls
  • Just a taste for somethin different
  • Perking up a borin day
  • Now our man from louisiana
  • Feels exactly the same way
  • Chorus:
  • Theyre all somewhere over china
  • Shanghai or old peking
  • On a plane or a boat in an envelope
  • Real adventure has its ring
  • Just to put a little distance
  • Between fact and fantasy
  • Still six thousand miles away from
  • Where Id really rather be
  • How I would love to drive the shuttle
  • Just to feel the engines roar
  • And to operate the levers
  • That control the payload doors
  • I could buzz the himalayas
  • Barrel roll above hong kong
  • Set her down in san francisco
  • To the clangin of a gong
  • Chorus:
  • Were all somewhere over china
  • Headin east or headin west
  • Takin time to live a little
  • Flyin so far from the nest
  • Just to put a little distance
  • Between causes and effects
  • Like an ancient fortune teller
  • Knowin who and what comes next
