Henny's Song: The Key To My Man Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Notes: Henny is Norman's wife of many years. She knows that his move to the Caribbean is a midddleaged fantasy, fraught with potential disaster, but she means to stand by him. Though she to is snared by the island's charm, she's smart enough too know it's an illusion. She's not quite smart enough to perceive that Iris Tramm is a threat to their marrage. Henny sings this song at the Kinja airport, as she is returning to New York to close up their apartment. Off and on Jimmy and I talked about having a "Married Love Song" for Henny. During rehearsal Jimmy wrote this lovely song almost overnight. 

I find myself between two worlds 

Bewildered all to hell 

Up north I have my mid-town life 

Down here my new hotel 

What kind of a dream is this 

Ion't know where I will land 

It's a Caribbean fairy tale 

The snow has turned to sand 

Chorus: 

But he's happy 

I understand 

And thats the key 

To my man

Bridge: 

I'd like to have a clearer view 

And listen to my hunches 

Without the rum-lined Kinjan fog 

Of a thousand planter's Punches 

Iguess I'll have to let it go 

And simply tag along 

Just let myself get all caught up 

Forget what's right or wrong 

What kind of dream is this 

That's causing me this strife 

My husband's chasing windmills 

And I'm still the nervous wife 

Photos 

Chorus: 

Cause he's happy 

And he's my man 

What good's this key in my hand 

Oh he's happy 

I understand 

And that's the key 

To my man
