If I Could Just Get It On Paper
2
By: Jimmy Buffett
3
1981
4
For William Faulkner
5
If I could just get it on paper
6
The things that have happened tonight
7
That seems to me to be the big key
8
I'm havin' too good a time to ever turn
9
Out the lights
10
Go to bed wake up with a clear head
11
Recallin' what made it a ball
12
Yes if I could just get it on paper
13
I might make some sense of it all
14
If I could tell half of the stories
15
The funny way most things begin
16
Figure ways to disguise all the half-truths and lies
17
Find the heart of my song with the point of a pen
18
Simple words can become clever phrases
19
And chapters could turn into books
20
Yes if I could just get it on paper
21
But it's harder than it ever looks
22
(instrumental)
23
All alone on the edge of the water
24
Hidin' out by the Sea of Cortez
25
With my sketch pads and Flairs
26
Tapes and battery spares
27
It's just no comprehendo to what everyone says
28
Time alone seemed to work well for Faulkner
29
Time away seems to work for the kid
30
Life and ink they run out at the same time
31
Or so said my old friend the squid
32
Yes if I could just get it on paper tonight
33
I could tell you what I think I did
