Jimmy Buffett - Survive lyrics

Survive

By: Jimmy Buffett, Mike Utley

1979

I play the stereo loud

When I'm away from the maddening crowd

Smokin', jokin'

Clowns we all are

Sometimes, kinda get real ill

When I receive my monthly telephone bill

But you say it, and I'll pay it

'Cause it just helps me to

Chorus:

Survive (survive), stay alive

'Til I see you again

Survive, stay alive

Can't say where it ends

Clouds lift and there're mountains below

Been awhile since I've seen any snow

It's chillin', so thrillin', so good to be back

Feels nice, to be home for awhile

Let's sip champagne till we break into smiles

We'll go dancin', romancin'

'Cause you're the reason I

Chorus:

Survived (survived), stayed alive

Through the thick and the thin

Survive, stay alive

Where will it all end

But my bags ain't unpacked

'Cause I've got to go back and play

But I know we'll both

Chorus:

Survive (survive), stay alive

Through the thick and the thin

Survive, stay alive

Until it all ends

Oh we'll, survive (survive), stay alive

When will it all end

Survive, stay alive

Till I see you again
