Blue Guitar - Jimmy Buffett

I once knew a man

Showed me the slight of hand

In the blink of an eye, he danced across the strings

Played a song I’d never heard

Poignant and absurd

To this day it leaves me wondering

How I wish tomorrow I were fishin'

Boy I’ve got a mission

Shake it, rattle and roll

Ah, now, just use your intuition

You’ll get less competition

From the clock up on the wall

You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

Play me a serenade

A simple masquerade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

'Cause we’ll all make believe

Someone to deceive

Time is just a folly we can’t see

You only know one song

Play it right or wrong

The truth is always somewhere in between

You and I, we can’t change the weather

And we’re all in this together

So let the strong winds blow

Ah, now things will be much better

If you don’t become a prisoner

To the reason you should know

You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

Play me a serenade

A simple masquerade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

How I wish tomorrow I were fishin'

Boy I’ve got a mission

Shake it, rattle and roll

Ah, now, just use you intuition

You’ll get less competition

From the clock up on the wall

You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

Play me a serenade

A simple masquerade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

Play me a serenade

Red wine or lemonade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

Play me a serenade

A simple masquerade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me
