Hey guys, came across the newest Jackson Browne album and noticed he had a song called "Going Down To Cuba". It's actually a cool chill tune.
At any rate, the lyrics are inspiring to me so I thought I'd share. It's a beautiful 80 degree day up here in MN and I can't get this tune outta my head. I'm leaving the office now on my way out of town to visit an old college buddy. Everyone have a great weekend!
Sometimes I get to feeling low
Wish I could just pick up and go somewhere new
Change my point of view
Maybe somewhere I donât know
Toss the idea to and fro
Not sure what makes it come and go
There it is again sweet music on the wind
Over the Gulf of Mexico
Iâm going to down to Cuba someday soon
Following that Caribbean moon
Itâs been too long since Iâve been there
Iâm going down to Cuba with my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
Where women where gardenias in their hair
People will tell you itâs not easy
Youâre not supposed to go, they say
They say that Cuba is the enemy
Iâm going down there anyway
Iâm going down to Cuba to see my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
No problem is too difficult to solve
Yeah times are tough down there itâs true
But you know theyâre going to make it through
They make such continuous use of the verb to resolve
Theyâve got to deal with that embargo
Enough to drive any country insane
They might not know the things you and I know
They do know what to do in a hurricane
Maybe Iâll go through Mexico
Old Jesse Helms donât have to know
Anyway all the allies of the new message
Travel to Cuba everyday
Iâm going down to Cuba to see my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
Where by comparison my trouble will just unravel
Iâm North American, you know
Donât like to hear where I canât go
Free people will insist on the freedom to travel
Iâm going to drink the running mojito
And walk out on the manecom
In one hand a monte cristo
And in the other and ice cream cone
Iâm going down to cuba with my band
Weâre going to formulate a plan
Whereby we obtain that cultural ??
If I told you once I told you thrice
Itâll put a smile on your face to see a Chevrolet with a soviet transmission
I bet the country cast a spell
And there are things I think of still
Like the beauty of that woman that spoke to me
In the hotel nacional
Iâm gonna book my flight today
Iâm definitely on my way
Just hold my place and Iâll get back in the race
And Iâm back in the USA
