Changing Channels Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Changing Channels 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally 

1989 

Girl of a thousand faces 

From a long line of basket cases 

Daughter of a fortune teller 

Oh the lovely Isabella 

Chorus: 

She's changing channels 

Stayin' on her toes 

She's just changing channels 

As she goes 

This place is full of beachhead sailors 

Fishermen and old retailers 

Simple lives are so deep seated 

And history always gets repeated

Some folks see a birds eye view 

Others haven't got a clue 

Some will go and some will stay 

It doesn't matter anyway 

Chorus: 

They are changing channels 

Crazy girls and boys 

They'll be changing channels 

Changing toys 

Survivors of tidal waves 

Children of former slaves 

Strange how they all behave 

Like it's another world 

There's an island in the ocean 

Where the people stay in motion 

Somewhere on the old gulf stream 

Do they live or did I dream 

Photos 

Chorus: 

They were changing channels 

Waitin' for their sails to fill 

They'll be changing channels 

Always will 

They'll be changing channels 

Waitin' for their sails to fill 

They'll be changing channels 

Always will 

To Joseph Campbell and Bruce Chadwick whose words and thoughts were an 

inspiration. To Charlie Allen and Lt. Jim "Amos" Anderson whose spirits 

linger with me though their days on the planet were far too few.
