Incommunicado Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

By: Jimmy Buffett, Deborah McColl, M.L. Benoit 

1980 

For the Duke and Travis McGee 

Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key 

That's what ol' John MacDonald said 

My rendezvous's so long overdue 

With all of the things I've sung and I've read 

They still apply to me 

They all make sense in time 

Chorus: 

But now I'm incommunicado 

Drivin' by myself down the road with a hole in it 

Songs with no vibrato 

Takin' the long way home

Now on the day that John Wayne died 

I found myself on the continental divide 

Tell me where do I go from here 

Think I'll ride into Leadville and have a few beers 

I think of "Red River" or "Liberty Valance" 

Can't believe the old man's gone 

Chorus: 

But now he's incommunicado 

Leavin' such a hole in a world that believed 

That a life with such bravado 

Was takin' the right way home 

So when I finished that last line 

I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it 

Never wastin' time takin' the right way home 

I know I'm never wastin' time findin' the right way home

Chorus: 

Still I am incommunicado 

Livin' next door to a leg with a pin in it 

Life with such bravado 

Is takin' the right way home 

Tryin' to make it 

Tryin' to fake it 

Tryin' to take it home 

Tryin' to make it 

Tryin' to fake it 

Tryin' to take it home 

I know I'm... 

Tryin' to make it 

Sometimes I fake it 

Tryin' to take it home 

All I'm doing is... 

Tryin' to make it 

Tryin' to fake it 

Tryin' to take it home 

But now I'm incommunicado...
