2018 Broadway Escape to Margaritaville The Musical - He Went to Paris Lyrics
He went to Paris looking for answers To questions that bothered him so He was impressive, young and aggressive Saving the world on his own But the warm Summer breezes The French wines and cheeses Put his ambition at bay And Summers and Winters Scattered like splinters And four or five years slipped away
Then he went to England, played the piano And married an actress named Kim They had a fine life, she was a good wife And bore him a young son named Jim And all of the answers and all of the questions He locked in his attic one day 'Cause he liked the quiet clean country living And twenty more years slipped away
Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady And left him with only one eye His body was battered, his world was shattered And all he could do was just cry While the tears were falling, he was recalling The answers he never found So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean And left England without a sound
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's And drinks his green label each day He's writing his memoirs and losing his hearing But he don't care what most people say Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion If he likes you he'll smile then he'll say Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic But I had a good life all the way
And he went to Paris looking for answers To questions that bother him so
