Buffett, Jimmy - Fins Lyrics






She came down from Cincinnati.
It took her three days on a train.
Lookin' for some peace and quiet;
hoped to see the sun again.
But now she lives down by the ocean.
She's takin' care to look for sharks.
They hang out in the local bars,
And they feed right after dark.

[Chorus:]
Can't you feel 'em circlin' honey?
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
and you're the only bait in town.
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
and you're the only girl in town.

She's savin' up all of her money.
Wants to head south in May;
Maybe roll in the sand with a rock'n'roll man,
Somewhere down Montserrat way.
But the money's good in the season;
Helps to lighten her load.
Boys keep her high as the months go by.
She's gettin' postcards from the road.

[Chorus]

Sailed off to Antigua.
It took her three days on a boat.
Lookin' for some peace and quiet;
Maybe keep her dreams afloat.
But now she feels like a remora,
'cause the school's still close at hand.
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
of the sharks that can swim on the land.

[Chorus]

  3. J.... B....

    Jimmy seems like the ultimate beach bum party animal. I'd sure love to see him live.

    J.... B....

    Joshua Brooks saw him in April down in Nashville. He puts on an AMAZING show!

    I've sang Jimmy Buffet when I was a couple months old

  12. R.... G....

    Don't over think it - Buffet goes opposite because he's facing the crowd. Parrotheads go L on L, R on R, as they face Jimmy.

  13. J.... L....

    No better said...

  14. M.... R....

    i saw a few sour faces in the audience...they must be from other planets...oh wait even parrot heads from other planets know what good music is...i give up...

  15. J.... L....

    OH MY GOD! JIMMY!! I'VE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN..... AHHHHHH!

  18. r.... d....

  19. P.... G....

    True Parrotheads know,....you go Left on Right and Right on Left.

  20. C.... L....

    rjworks, looks like an old Dean guitar to me.

  21. R.... C....

    What kind of guitar is Peter Mayer playing on the lead solo? It almost looks like a PRS, but PRS doesn't have anything similar to this, even in their private stock. Beautiful instrument.

    R.... C....

    It is a beautiful instrument. I have no idea what it is. Chris Lewis is probably right, but I can't remember seeing this instrument in their catalog. My guess is that it's a custom made piece by a local artist in the area.
