They say Jimmy's sailed away into the warm and endless blue
Left his flip-flops in the sand under skies of a sunlit hue
From Key West nights to the Gulf Coast tides
Jimmy painted life in colors of paradise
He found a life where the palm trees sway
And left behind a world that couldn't stay
Jimmy's sailed away past Margaritaville Bay
Where salt and sun meet each breaking day
With a cheeseburger in hand and that old Parrothead band
He's drifted off to his promised land
There's a place where the volcanoes blow
And the pirates gather where the warm winds flow
In the land of lost shakers of salt
He found a rhythm nobody could halt
Singing Come Monday and Son of a Sailor
With tales of the sea and love grown greater
Some search for purpose while he found a beach
In tales of the tropics his dreams in reach
He left us tunes to dance and sing
In a world of sunshine summer and spring
Jimmy's sailed away past Margaritaville Bay
Where salt and sun meet each breaking day
With a cheeseburger in hand and that old Parrothead band
He's drifted off to his promised land
So raise a glass to the sandy shore
Where Jimmy's laughter rings evermore
He's out past the reef where the wild waves play
Yes Jimmy's finally sailed away
