Wonder Why We Ever Go Home (Alternate Version)

by Jimmy Buffett

This is an alternate version of the song cut from “Havana Daydreamin’.”


Lyrics

People movin’ and surein’
There humors in need of repair
Same occupations and same obuglations
They’ve really got nothing to share
Like driving around with no spare

Years grow shorter not longer
The more spend on your own
Feelings for moving grow stronger
So you wonder why you ever go home

River gets deeper not shallow
The more you move down the stream
Waters move stronger and faster
As you race to keep up with your dream
How they shine and they glitter and gleam

Years grow shorter not longer
The more spend on your own
Feelings for moving grow stronger
So you wonder why you ever go home
