The Song in My Head Today

I bought a cheap watch from the crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says "now"

Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And if I had trouble the warranty said:
Breathe in, Breathe out, Move on.

And it rained
It was nothing really new
And it blew
Seen all that before
And it poured
The earth began to strain
Pontchartrain leaking through the door, tides at war.

If a hurricane doesn't leave you dead
It will make you strong
Don't try to explain it just nod your head
Breathe in, Breathe out, Move on

According to my watch the time is now
The past is dead and gone
Don't try to explain it just nod your head
Breathe in, Breathe out, Move on

--Jimmy Buffett
