Lyric Stranded On A Sandbar

Stranded On A Sandbar
By: Jimmy Buffett
1979
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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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
