The Wino And I Know Lyrics

Ice cream man, he's a hillbilly fan

Got seventy-eights by Hank Snow

Walks through the street of the city so neat

City that only he knows

And I've seen him in so many places

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 pain of street singin'

Like a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin'

It's a strange situation, a wild occupation

Just livin' my life like a song, that could be a song, right

Coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde

The donuts are too hot to touch

Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool

I eat 'til I eat way too much

'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite meJimmy Buffett - The Wino And I Know - http://motolyrics.com/jimmy-buffett/the-wino-and-i-know-lyrics.html

Be they pastries, lobsters or love, thank you for yours, brother

I'm just tryin' to get by bein' quiet and shy

In a world full of pushin' and shove

That's why, the wino and I know the pain of back bustin'

Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin'

It's a strange situation, wild occupation

Just livin' 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 joy of the ocean

Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion

It's a strange situation, wild occupation

Just livin' my life like a song

Say it's a strange situation, a wild occupation

Just livin' my life like my song
