Jimmy Buffett - The Wino and I KnowLyrics

The ice cream man he's a hillbilly fan, He's got seventy-eights by Hank Snow, Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet, To the rhythm that only he knows. And I've seen him in so many places, I saw him the night I was born, In a Bourbon Street bar I received my first scar From an old man so tattered and torn. And the Wino and I know the pains of street singin' Like the door-to-door salesman knows The pains of bell ringin' It's a strange situation, A wild occupation, Living my life like a song. Well the coffee is strong At the Cafe do Monde, And the donuts are too hot to touch, But just like a fool, when those Sweet goodies cool, I ate 'til I ate way too much. Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me, Be they pastries or lobsters or love, I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy, In a world full of pushin' and shove. And the Wino and I know the pains of backbustin', Like the farmer knows the pain of his pick-up Truck rustin'. It's a strange situation, a wild occupation, Living my life like a song. Sweet Senorita, won't you please come with me? Back to the island, honey, back to the sea, Back to the only place that I want to be. And the Wino and I know the joys of the ocean, Like a boy knows the joys of his milkshake In motion. It's a strange situation, a wild occupation, Living my life like a song.
