The Pascagoula Run

The Pascagoula Run

By: Jimmy Buffett, Jay Oliver

1989

Billy pulled in in a Jaguar

Red convertable sixty-five

Headed home to Mississippi, he`d been around the world

That black sheep uncle of mine

His ship had come in, he was looking to sin

Singing his own song

When he yelled from the drive, my heart came alive

"Jimmy boy come along"

Chorus:

It`s time to see the world

It`s time to kiss a girl

It`s time to cross the wild meridian

Grab your bag and take a chance

Time to learn a Cajun dance

Kid you`re gonna see the morning sun

On the Pascagoula run

Pascagoula run

Friday night at the Stateline bar

Where the waterfront people dwell

I better watch my step if the floor caves in

I`ll go right straight to hell

There were pinball machines and cajun queens

Men with knives and scars

Billy moved `cross the floor to the real hard core

And said, "Here`s where it gets bizarre"

Chorus:

It`s time to see the world

It`s time to kiss a girl

It`s time to cross the wild meridian

Grab your bag and take a chance

Time to learn a Cajun dance

Kid you`re gonna see the morning sun

On the Pascagoula run

Pascagoula run

What do the ladies say, what do the ladies say

What do the ladies say, what do the ladies say

What do the ladies say, what do the ladies say

What do the ladies say, what do the ladies say

Bring that young man over here

We`re going to buy that boy a beer

And that ain`t all we want to do

Bring your crazy uncle too

Chorus:

It`s time to see the world

It`s time to kiss a girl

It`s time to cross the wild meridian

Grab your bag and take a chance

Time to learn a Cajun dance

Kid you`re gonna see the morning sun

On the Pascagoula run

Pascagoula run
