Lyric Treat Her Like A Lady

Treat Her Like a Lady
By: Jimmy Buffett, David Loggins
1979
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
