If I Could Just Get It On Paper Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Jimmy buffett 

if i could just get it on paper 

the things that have happened tonight 

but that seems to me to be the big key 

i'm havin' too good a time to ever turn 

out the lights. 

Go to bed wake up with a clear head 

recalling what made it a ball 

if i could just get it on paper 

i might make some sense of it all 

If i could tell half of the stories 

the funny way most things begin 

figure ways to disguise all the half truths and lies 

find the heart of my song with the point of a pen 

simple words can be come clever phrases 

and chapters could turn into books 

yes if i could just get it on paper 

but it's harder than it ever looks. 

Instrumental 

All alone in the edge of the water 

hidin' out by the sea of cortez 

with my sketch pads and flairs 

tapes and battery spares 

It's just no comprehendo to what everyone says 

Time alone seemed to work well for faulkner 

time away seems to work for the kid 

life and ink they run out at the same time 

or so said my old friend the squid 

Yes if i could just get it on paper tonight 

i could tell you what i think i did.
