Twelve Volt Man Lyrics

Cover art for Twelve Volt Man lyrics by Jimmy Buffett

One of my faves. I read the song is about an American in Baja who lives on the "essentials" which is a package of margarita mix, buffett albums, a tape recorder, an old blender and a power system he made which of an old honda generator and Sears Die Hard battery. The man would fish all week and on Fridays him and his friends would hang out, hook up the machine to listen and sing to buffett songs; they'd make margaritas and hang out until the gas ran out.

It's also supposedly one of Jimmy's favorite songs.
