Treat Her Like a Lady — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

Treat her like a lady

By: jimmy buffett, david loggins

1979

Chorus:

Some of us sailors call her home

Shes big and shes strong and shes mighty

Some of us sailors call her our own

Guess thats the reason why

I treat her like a lady

Just treat her like a lady



Now I dont like the sound of the ground movin round

Or winds spinnin out of control

California earthquakes, only seem to make a me

Shake, rattle, and roll



Ive been too long on the mainland

Hotels, rental cars, and phones

Time to cast em aside, catch the very next tide

And go back, where I belong



Chorus:

Some of us sailors call her home

Shes big and shes strong and shes mighty

Some of us sailors call her our own

Guess thats the reason why

I treat her like a lady

Treat her like a lady



Now great whales travel the rhumb lines

Dodging those deadly harpoons

Spawning their young, as their ancestors done

In the depths of her hidden lagoons



Therere times I find myself with them

And times I feel as they do

Were on a similar course, its just a different source

But Im in danger of extinction too



Chorus:

Some of us sailors call her home

Shes big and shes strong and shes mighty

Some of us sailors call her our own

Guess thats the reason why

I treat her like a lady

Treat her like a lady

Treat her like a lady

Treat her like a lady



And miss her when Im gone



(lady, lady) treat her like a lady

(lady, lady) treat her like a lady

(lady, lady) got to treat her like a lady

(lady, lady) treat her like a lady

Lady, lady

Lady, lady

Lady, lady
