Going Down To Cuba Lyrics - Time The Conqueror - Jackson Browne

Sometimes I get to feeling low 

Wish I could just pick up and go 

Somewhere new change my point of view 

Maybe somewhere I don't know 

Toss the idea to and fro 

Not sure what makes it come and go 

There it is again sweet music on the wind 

Over the Gulf of Mexico 

I'm going to down to Cuba someday soon 

Following that Caribbean moon 

It's been too long since I've been there 

I'm going down there to see my friends 

Down where the rhythm never ends 

Where women wear gardenias in their hair

People will tell you it's not easy 

You're not supposed to go, they say 

They say that Cuba is the enemy 

I'm going down there anyway 

I'm going down to Cuba to see my friends 

Down where the rhythm never ends 

And no problem is too difficult to solve 

Yeah times are tough down there it's true 

But you know they're gonna make it through 

They make such continuous use of the verb to resolve 

They've got to deal with that embargo 

Enough to drive any country insane 

They might not know the things you and I know 

They do know what to do in a hurricane 

Maybe I'll go through Mexico 

Old Jesse Helms don't have to know 

Anyway all the allies of the USA 

Travel to Cuba everyday

I'm going down to Cuba to see my friends 

Down where the rhythm never ends 

Where by comparison my trouble will just unravel 

I'm North American, you know 

Don't like to hear where I can't go 

Free people will insist on the freedom to travel 

I'm gonna drink the running mojito 

And walk out on the malecón 

In one hand a monte cristo 

And in the other an ice cream cone 

I'm going down to cuba with my band 

We're going to formulate a plan 

Whereby we obtain that cultural delusion 

If I told you once I told you thrice 

It'll put a smile on your face to see a Chevrolet with a soviet transmission 

I bet the country cast a spell 

And there are things I think of still 

Like the beauty of that woman that spoke to me 

In the hotel nacional 

I'm gonna book my flight today 

I'm definitely on my way 

Just hold my place and I'll get back in the race 

And I'm back in the USA
