Lyrics Stranded On A Sandbar - Jimmy Buffett

Stranded On A Sandbar

I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin' around
Like the wind that blows
Tide that flows
Have my ups and downs
All a part of some strange plan I’m sure
Start a new chapter each day
Honey, love gets lost, time gets tossed
'Cause we’ve both got our own different ways
I feel like I’m stranded on a sandbar
Stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin' it for all that it’s worth
I’m just payin' for my sins on earth
Now I used to go crazy for days at a time
Now I’m takin' my time with my days
Haven’t found the answers like some that I know
I’m just stuck in a fairly nice maze
Climb to the top of the island tonight
Sit beneath the cashew tree
I want to count the stars, lights on the cars
That are shinin' up and down on me
I feel like I’m stranded on a sandbar
Baby I’m stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin' it for all that it’s worth
I’m just payin' for my sins on earth
I feel like I’m stranded on a sandbar
Sugar I’m stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin' it for all that it’s worth
I’m just payin' for my sins on earth
Coda:
I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin' around
