Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupations just not around.
I feel like I've drowned,
Gonna head uptown.

Additional quotes by Jimmy Buffett

We’ve gotta roll with the punches
Learn to play all of our hunches.
Makin’ the best of whatever comes your way.
Forget that blind ambition
And learn to trust your intuition.
Plowin’ straight ahead come what may.

Enduring echoes call out from his past.

He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare.

I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow.
