Lyrics for Were The People Our Parents Warned Us About by Jimmy Buffett:
| | | Artist: | Jimmy Buffett |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Were The People Our Parents Warned Us About | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 94 | | | | Lyrics: | I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest or a Naval Academy grad
That was the way that my
parents perceived me
Those were the plans that they had
But I couldn't fit the part too dumb
or too smart
Ain't it funny how we all turned out
I guess we are the people our parents
warned us about
You know I coulda worked the rigs when the money was big
Or hopped a
freighter south to Trinidad
And when they tried to draft me I earned a college degree
Buyin'
time 'til things were not so bad
But then I got a guitar found a job in a bar
Playin' acid
rock 'til I was numb
Tell me where are the flashbacks they all warned us would
come
Chorus:
We are the people, they couldn't figure out
We are the people our
parents warned us about
Hey hey, Gardner McKay
Take us on the Leaky Tiki with
you
Clear skies bound for Shanghai
Sailing cross the ocean blue (do do do dooo)
So blue
(do do do dooo OOOH)
(do do do dooo)
(do do do dooo OOOH)
Now I got quarters in my
loafers tryin' to fight inflation
When it only used to take a cent
Sometimes I wish I was
back in my crashpad days
'Fore I knew what cash flow meant
Seems everybody's joggin' or
heavy into health shit
Don't tell me that I ought to get rolfed
'Cause I love cajun martinis
and playin' afternoon golf
Chorus:
We are the people there isn't any doubt
We are
the people they still can't figure out
We are the people who love to sing "Twist and
Shout"
SHAKE IT UP BABY
We are the people our parents warned us about (do do do
dooo)
Id'n' any doubt (do do do dooo OOOH)
Hey hey hey (do do do dooo)
Gardner McKay (do
do do dooo, Gardner McKay | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
