Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes Lyrics By Jimmy Buffett

    verse
    i took off for a weekend last month
    just to try and recall the whole year
    all of the faces and all of the places
    wonderin’ where they all disappeared
    i didn’t ponder the question too long
    i was hungry and went out for a bite
    ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
    and we wound up drinkin’ all night

    it’s those changes in latitudes changes in attitudes
    nothing remains quite the same
    with all of our running and all of our cunning
    if we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane

    verse
    reading departure signs in some big airport
    reminds me of the places i’ve been
    visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
    makes me want to go back again
    if it suddenly ended tomorrow
    i could somehow adjust to the fall
    good times and riches and son of a bitches
    i’ve seen more than i can recall

    these changes in latitudes changes in attitudes
    nothing remains quite the same
    through all of the islands and all of the highlands
    if we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane

    verse
    i think about paris when i’m high on red wine
    i wish i could jump on a plane
    and so many nights i just dream of the ocean
    god i wish i was sailin’ again
    oh yesterdays are over my shoulder
    so i can’t look back for too long
    there’s just too much to see waiting in front of me
    and i know that i just can’t go wrong

    with these changes in latitudes changes in attitudes
    nothing remains quite the same
    with all of my running and all of my cunning
    if i couldn’t laugh i just would go insane
    if we couldn’t laugh we just would go insane
    if we weren’t all crazy we would go insane
