JIMMY BUFFETT

- Margaritaville Lyrics

Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil

Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault

I don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue
Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault

When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, Jimmy Buffett's song 'Margaritaville' depicts a person living the life of a beach town where one is not bothered by misfortunes of life but enjoying margaritas as a form of coping. The lost shaker of salt is a metaphor for the quest of finding something that makes living worthwhile, while the woman to blame and personal faults refer to one's taking responsibility for his or her own choices and experiences. The lyrics of Margaritaville mainly convey the feeling of nostalgia, reflection, partying, joy and despair. The song, however, at the same time, urges the listener to be aware of the importance of regret and responsibility as well as leisure and escapism.
