Floridays (reggae Version) Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

By: Jimmy Buffett 

1986 

For Don Blanding, Wobby Wiemer and "Groovula" 

I come from where the rivers meet the sea 

That's part of why I'm so wild and fancy free 

I was early into crazy ways 

My folks said, "It's just a phase" 

They were hopin' for better days 

 

Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most 

Write 'em down, pass 'em around 

It's the gospel from the coast 

Reflections not just replays 

Takin' time to escape the maze 

Lookin' for better days

I spent a year of my life one night 

On the beaches in old Beirut 

Seems that all they're aimin' for there 

Is to hang around and shoot 

Each others lives away 

Bloody winds on a distant bay 

They're lookin' for better days 

 

Lookin' to the left 

Lookin' to the right 

Lookin' to the stars to shed some light 

Hopin' for a breath 

Hopin' for a break 

Hopin' for the give without the take 

 

Photos 

 

The dreamers line the state road 

Just to watch the runway show 

Slouched behind their steering wheels 

They just watch the big jets go 

Streakin' through the mornin' haze 

Focal point of a distant gaze 

Lookin' for better days 

 

(instrumental) 

 

Pale invaders and tan crusaders 

Are worshipping the sun 

On the corner of walk and don't walk 

Somewhere on U.S. 1 

 

I'm back to livin' Floridays 

Blue skies and ultra violet rays 

Lookin' for better days 

 

I'm back to livin' Floridays 

Blue skies and ultra violet rays 

Lookin' for better days, lookin' for better days 

Lookin' for better days 

Lookin' for Floridays 

 

(Better days, better ways) 

Everybody's lookin' for 

(Better days) 

Somewhere beneath the shinin' star 

(Better days) 

Take me won't you take me to 

(Better days) 

Sure could use a few 

(Better days)
