Lyrics for Somewhere Over China by JIMMY BUFFETT:
| | | Artist: | JIMMY BUFFETT |

Thought he had the future planned
Then he won some silly
sweepstakes
Now he had a hundred grand
Never stopped to think of taxes
He was gone
before they knew
With a flair for old romantics
To the Orient he flew
When they
fueled in Papeete
Place a call to Big Mamou
With an honest explanation
Just to tell the
whole damn truth
It's his one chance in a million
Who'd deny the simple fact
Twas no use
to talk it over
He'd be home when he got back
Now he's somewhere over China
Lookin'
down on all the trails
On the mountains lookin' back at him
It's a real live fairy
tale
Put a little distance
Between causes and effects
Like a day old fortune
cookie
Askin' who or what comes next
What the hell did Marco Polo think
When he ran
into the wall
Or the crazy flying tigers
Doin' spins and loops and stalls
Just a taste
for something different
Perking up a boring day
Now our man from Louisiana
Feels exactly
the same way
They're all somewhere over China
Shanghai or old Peking
On a plane or
a boat in an envelope
Real adventure has it's ring
Just to put a little distance
Between
fact and fantasy
Still six thousand miles away from
where I really want to be
How I
would love to drive the shuttle
Just to feel the engines roar
And to operate the
levers
That control the payload doors
I could buzz the Himalayas
Barrel roll above Hong
Kong
Set her down in San Francisco
To the clanging of the gong
We're all somewhere
over China
Headin' east of headin' west
Takin' time to live a little
Flying so far from
the nest
