Song | Treat Her Like a Lady |
Artist | Jimmy Buffett |
Album | Volcano |
Written:Jimmy Buffett/David Loggins | |
Chorus: | |
Some of us sailors call her home | |
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty | |
Some of us sailors call her our own | |
Guess that's the reason why | |
I treat her like a lady | |
Just treat her like a lady | |
Now I don't like the sound of the ground movin' 'round | |
Or winds spinnin' out of control | |
California earthquakes, only seem to make a' me | |
Shake, rattle, and roll | |
I've been too long on the mainland | |
Hotels, rental cars, and phones | |
Time to cast 'em aside, catch the very next tide | |
And go back, where I belong | |
Chorus: | |
Some of us sailors call her home | |
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty | |
Some of us sailors call her our own | |
Guess that's the reason why | |
I treat her like a lady | |
Treat her like a lady | |
Now great whales travel the rhumb lines | |
Dodging those deadly harpoons | |
Spawning their young, as their ancestors done | |
In the depths of her hidden lagoons | |
There're times I find myself with them | |
And times I feel as they do | |
We're on a similar course, it's just a different source | |
But I'm in danger of extinction too | |
Chorus: | |
Some of us sailors call her home | |
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty | |
Some of us sailors call her our own | |
Guess that's the reason why | |
I treat her like a lady | |
Treat her like a lady | |
Treat her like a lady | |
Treat her like a lady | |
And miss her when I'm gone | |
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady | |
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady | |
(Lady, lady) got to treat her like a lady | |
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady | |
Lady, lady | |
Lady, lady | |
Lady, lady | |
