Jimmy Buffett - Remittance Man lyrics
Sinner on the mainland He's a sinner on the sea He looks for absolution Not accountability How many destinations Oh God he's seen them all He collects his precious pittance In every port of call Chorus Remittance man Black sheep of the family clan Broke too many rules along the way Remittance man So far away from home No they'll never understand the remittance man Verse A man of empty pockets From jingling his change The idleness and grieving Are all that he retains By the harbor lights of Sydney Or the Bora Bora moon He recites his sad confession To the seagulls and the loons Chorus Remittance man Black sheep of the family clan Broke too many rules along the way Remittance man So far away from home No they'll never understand the remittance man Bridge You could claim that you were born a prince But you're the only one you cna convince Survivor with no livelihood, that you could ever make it good But still you dream of what you can't pretend Verse An unexpected passenger Boarded in Marseilles An angel full of tenderness She gave her heart away She was but a gypsy He was just a stray They almost made a miracle But it slowly slipped away So he follows the equator With a wish to run aground It's a very vicious circle Going round and round and round Now he watches from the fantail As the mainland disappears Just like the Flying Dutchman He's a prisoner of his fears Chorus Remittance man Black sheep of the family clan Broke too many rules along the way Remittance man So far away from home No they'll never understand (x3 |
