Stranded On A Sandbar Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Stranded On A Sandbar 

By: Jimmy Buffett 

1979 

I enjoy this life as a jester 

Seems to keep me movin' around 

Like the wind that blows 

Tide that flows 

Have my ups and downs 

All a part of some strange plan I'm sure 

Start a new chapter each day 

Honey, love gets lost, time gets tossed 

'Cause we've both got our own different ways

Chorus: 

I feel like I'm stranded on a sandbar 

Stuck in my tracks like a street car 

Playin' it for all that it's worth 

I'm just payin' for my sins on earth 

Now I used to go crazy for days at a time 

Now I'm takin' my time with my days 

Haven't found the answers like some that I know 

I'm just stuck in a fairly nice maze 

Climb to the top of the island tonight 

Sit beneath the cashew tree 

I want to count the stars, lights on the cars 

That are shinin' up and down on me 

Chorus: 

I feel like I'm stranded on a sandbar 

Baby I'm stuck in my tracks like a street car 

Playin' it for all that it's worth 

I'm just payin' for my sins on earth

Chorus: 

I feel like I'm stranded on a sandbar 

Sugar I'm stuck in my tracks like a street car 

Playin' it for all that it's worth 

I'm just payin' for my sins on earth 

Coda: 

I enjoy this life as a jester 

Seems to keep me movin' around
