Turnabout

By: jimmy buffett

1970

As large as life she stood there

Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname

And though several years had passed

Both of us still looked quite the same

I said hi relaxed a bit

Then asked her how she'd been all these years

She told me she was feeling fine

Came to see a friend who lived up hereTold me she had finished school

And then went on to college for a year

I asked if she had married

Slowly down her cheek there came a tear

She said just an itchy eye

It must be the weather way up here

Told her I can't stand the cold

It freezes me and I can't feel my earsWe talked a bit about mobile

And thought about how it has never changed

I told her I was a comin' home

To spend some time and hoped it wouldn't rain

She asked if she could see me then

And we could spend some time now and then

Because I lived so far away

Was still no chance why we could not be friendsI drove her to the waiting plane

Watched that big jet streaking through the sky

Thought about the sad young girl

And the time that I just saw her cry

That flame must still be burning bright

I think I'll catch a later flight today

It's time for me to go on home

And spend a day or two down by the bay

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
