Lyric Havana Daydreamin

By: Jimmy Buffett
1975
Stashed his trash in Ecuador
Bought a good suit of clothes
Flew on up to Mexico
Standin by the shore

Waitin for some mystery man
To pay him for his time
But thinkin about all the money he d made
Couldn t help to ease his mind

Havana daydreamin
Boy he s just dreamin
His life away

His daddy chopped that sugar cane
One day he fell dead
Jesus had a wanderin feelin
Swimmin around in his head

Sailin on a midnight boat
There were no questions asked
The water so green and the air was so clean
He just stuck right to his task

Havana daydreamin
Boy he s just schemin
His life away

(instrumental)

Ceilin fan it stirs the air
Cigar smoke does swirl
The fragrance on the pillowcase
And he thinks about the girl

Spillin wine and sharin good times
She sure could make him smile
He pays her well but what the hell
He ll be movin in a little while

Havana daydreamin
Boy he s just dreamin
His life away

Havana daydreamin
Boy he ll be dreamin
His life away
