by Jimmy Buffett
I remember the smell
Of the
creosote plant
When we had to eat on Easter
With my crazy old uncle and aunt
The
lived in a big house
Antibellum style
And the wind would blow across the old
bayou
When I was a tranquil little child
Life was just a tire swing
Jumbalaya
is the only song I could sing
Blackberry picking, eating fried chicken
Never knew a thing
about pain
Life was just a tire swing
In the early summer
My folks packed me
off to camp
Me and my cousin Baxter
And out pup tent with a lamp
But in a few days
Baxter went home
And left me by myself
But I knew that I'd stay
It was better that
way
And I could get along without any help
Life was just a tire swing
Jumbalaya
was the only song I could sing
Chasing after sparrows with rubber tipped arrows
Knowing I
could never hurt a thing
Life was just a tire swing
And I've never been west of New
Orleans or East of Pennsicola
My only contact with the outside world was an RCA
victrola
Then Elvis would sing
And then I'd dream
About expensive cars
Who
would have figured
That twenty years later
I'd be rubbing shoulders with the stars
Life is just a tire swing
In the early morning
On an Illinios road
I
fell asleep at the wheel but was quickly waken up
By a Ma Bell telephone poll
A bunch of
Grantwood faces screaming,
"Is he still alive?"
But through the window I could see it
hanging from the tree
And I knew that I had survived
Life is still a tire
swing
Jumbalaya is the best song I can sing
Blackberry picking, eating fried
chicken
Though I finnally learned a lot about pain
Life is just a tire swing
