My Barracuda Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

My Barracuda 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, Russell Kunkel, Steve Cropper 

1988 

Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. A sleeping bag under a bridge by a canal is still waterfront property. 

Barracuda... 

Well I saw this couple 

Just the other day 

Livin' under a bridge 

In a homeless way 

Like a million others 

Without any plan 

Livin' day to day 

In the promised land 

In this unforgivin' world there ain't no doubt 

It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out 

She calls him barracuda 

My barracuda

She used to work in the circus 

A real high-wire act 

He was a lion tamer 

Up until the attack 

He came without instructions then he came unglued 

And now he's just a monster in a human suit 

She calls him barracuda 

My barracuda 

She still can't figure out what she's doin' down there 

And she don't know if he loves her or not 

He may be a barracuda 

But he's the only lover she's got (oh-oooo)

She still can't figure out what she's doin' down there 

And she don't know if he loves her or not 

He may be a barracuda 

But he's the only lover she's got (oh-oooo) 

Barracuda, yeah 

My barracuda 

Not too many fish in the sea (barracuda) 

Just my barracuda and me (my barracuda) 

Swimmin' around (barracuda) 

Check out the town (my barracuda) 

He's such a barracuda, ooh, yeah (barracuda, yeah)
