| Jimmy Buffett – Last Mango In Paris Lyrics | 16 years ago |

This song alway makes me really sad though lucky. I was raised in the keys and I can see the type of guy he is talking about. Be it the Mayor, The Wizard or another. There were so many people that passed through our lives with tall tales. All of them had lessons for a youngster and the crazy part was most of them were true. I think the song is exactly about what it says. An old dog in the corner, callin the youth over for some conversation. Telling stories and sharing the evening and at the end of it all. You take so much away from the table. I have been there, with my grandfathers friends, I have had evenings with the Mayor when I was much younger. And all of it, I could never replace or be more greatful for. Those figures in my life will always be legends. Grab for the impossible and it still will never be over. |

I have loved this song for years. I first heard it at a pub in Pictou NS while sailing tallships. I think the last two verses say it all. Not matter what the cost, no matter what the view of others is. Stand up and do the right thing. Be accountable to what has done right by you. |

dude I am so late getting to this. there is a mis-quote in the lyrics. it is not "when" it is "wind" as in a sailboat tacking to windward. Not an easy task. I think it is easy to understand now "Been going up wind now, For to long Forget how To let go" When you are constantly moving and moving you end up doing so for the sake of doing it and forget how to just let it all go... |
