Doug Supernaw - He Went To Paris Lyrics

Writer: Jimmy Buffett



He went to Paris looking for answers to the questions that bothered him so

He was impressive, young and aggressive saving the world on his own

The warm summer breezes and French wine and cheeses

Put his ambitions at bay

Summers and Winters scattered like splinters and 4 to 5 years slipped away



He went to England played the piano and married an actress named Kim

They had a good life she was a fine wife and bore him a young son named Jim

All of the answers to most of the questions locked in his attic some day

But he liked the quiet clean country living and 20 more years skipped away



Solo:



The war took his baby the bombs killed his lady and left him with only one eye

His body was battered his whole world was shattered and

All he could do was just cry

While the tears were falling he was recalling the answers that he never found

Hopped on a freighter skated the ocean and left England without a sound



Now he lives in the islands fishes the pilings and drinking his Green label each day

Writing his memoirs losing his hearing but he don't care what most people say

After 86 years of perpetual motion if he likes you he'll smile and say

Some of it's magic some of it's tragic but I had a good life all the way

He went to Paris looking for answers to the questions that bothered him so
