Stranded On A Sandbar — Jimmy Buffett

Stranded on a sandbar

By: jimmy buffett

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 Im sure

Start a new chapter each day

Honey, love gets lost, time gets tossed

cause weve both got our own different ways

Chorus

I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar

Stuck in my tracks like a street car

Playin it for all that its worth

Im just payin for my sins on earth

Now I used to go crazy for days at a time

Now Im takin my time with my days

Havent found the answers like some that I know

Im 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

Chorus

I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar

Baby Im stuck in my tracks like a street car

Playin it for all that its worth

Im just payin for my sins on earth

Chorus

I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar

Sugar Im stuck in my tracks like a street car

Playin it for all that its worth

Im just payin for my sins on earth

Coda:

I enjoy this life as a jester

Seems to keep me movin around
