Thought he had the future planned Then he won some silly sweepstakes Now he had a hundred grand Never stopped to think of taxes He was gone before they knew With a flair for old romantics To the Orient he flew When they fueled in Papeete Place a call to Big Mamou With an honest explanation Just to tell the whole damn truth It's his one chance in a million Who'd deny the simple fact Twas no use to talk it over He'd be home when he got back Chorus Now he's somewhere over China Lookin' down on all the trails On the mountains lookin' back at him It's a real live fairy tale Put a little distance Between causes and effects Like a day old fortune cookie Askin' who or what comes next What the hell did Marco Polo think When he ran into the wall Or the crazy flying tigers Doin' spins and loops and stalls Just a taste for something different Perking up a boring day Now our man from Louisiana Feels exactly the same way Chorus They're all somewhere over China Shanghai or old Peking On a plane or a boat in an envelope Real adventure has it's ring Just to put a little distance Between fact and fantasy Still six thousand miles away from where I really want to be How I would love to drive the shuttle Just to feel the engines roar And to operate the levers That control the payload doors I could buzz the Himalayas Barrel roll above Hong Kong Set her down in San Francisco To the clanging of the gong Chorus We're all somewhere over China Headin' east of headin' west Takin' time to live a little Flying so far from the nest Just to put a little distance Between causes and effects Like an ancient fortune teller Knowin' who and what comes next  More Jimmy Buffett Song Lyrics
