| Jimmy Buffett – Coast of Carolina Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Actually, when Buffett says "Little roadside resturant, we artfully complain. Rudy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain." It's actually "Groovey", not Rudy. Groovey is my uncle Larry, and Jimmy is talking about he and my uncle Larry on a road side restaurant one evening. My family is very close to Jimmy Buffet and in 2003 my uncle passed away in a plane crash. Jimmy Buffet refers to him in his song. "But I'd tell the wind and my old friend I'm headed home to you." He is talking about my uncle. Also, the song title refers to him as well. My uncle crashed his plane on the Coast of Carolina! "It's come a lot of Mondays since the phone booth that first night. The years, the miles, the tears and smiles I want to get it right." He asked his wife, Jane, on a date in a phone booth in Key West. He and his wife Jane had some significance with a phone booth in Key West one night. Jimmy also met his wife Jane through my Uncle Larry. I think this song was written in a tribute to his past and my uncle Larry. I have met Jimmy Buffett and he is a very close family/friend. |
