The reason I post these lyrics is because I went and watched the movie just to find out what Jimmy was singing about....
Jimmy Buffett - Incommunicado
Travis McGee’s still in Cedar Key
That’s what John McDonald said
My rendezvous so long overdue
With all of the things I’ve sung and read
They still apply to me, they all make sense in time
But now I’m incommunicado
Driving by myself down the road with a hole in it
Songs with no bravado
Takin’ the long way home
Now on the day that John Wayne died
I found myself on the continental divide
Tell me where do we go from here?
Think I’ll ride into Leadville and have a few beers
Think of “Red River”, “Liberty Valence” can’t believe
the old man’s gone
But now he’s incommunicado
Leaving such a hole in a world that believed
That a life with such bravado
Was taking the right way home
So when I finished the last line
I put the book by itself on the shelf
With my heart in it
Never wasting time takin’ the right way home
I know you’re never wastin’ time
Findin’ the right way home
Still I am incommunicado
Livin’ next door to a leg with a pin in it
Never wastin’ time, takin’ the right way home
Good idea “think I’ll drive into Leadville and have a few beers. Been back to the old high school only a few times since I went to war. The towns changed— or maybe I have. She was ugly and scarred I first saw her. But dang I did learn to love her. But she’s changed— Or maybe I have. Happy Valley seems so far away Yet that interstate exchange always draws me when I have to make the drive to Sodom -(Freudian slip)I meant Denver.
