Tides Lyrics - Songs From St. Somewhere - Jimmy Buffett

Every sailor's son 

Is taught when they are young 

That the pull of the moon lingers on 

Something we can't escape 

From Bimini 'round the cape 

Mix in the wind and the sea and sing along. 

To whom it may concern 

I've always tried to learn 

That the good days need to last 

Season with a lot of laughter 

Here and in the ever after 

With poetry and painters from my past

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So I follow the tides 

On currents far and wide 

Chalking up the stories and the miles 

Yes, I follow the tides 

Big blue rides 

And that's the reason I will never lose my smile 

Hoping to catch a ray 

Looking to misbehave 

As my lucky stars still shine above the sea 

Watching the ships roll in 

I play that Otis song again 

For the tourists and some mermaids by the sea 

And I follow the tides 

Down my song lines far and wide 

The world to me should still be free and wild 

Yes, I follow the tides 

Give me more, big blue rides 

And that's the reason I will never lose my smile

Every sailor's son 

Is taught when they are young 

That the pull of the moon lingers on 

Something we can't escape 

Is it salt water or just fate? 

Mix in the wind and the sea and sing along? 

And we'll follow the tides 

Down our song lines far and wide 

It seems to me my life's still free and wild 

Yes, we'll follow the tides 

Give us more big blue rides 

And that's the reason I will never lose my smile 

And that's the reason you should never lose your smile
