| 作词 : Buffett | |
| Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett Music：Jimmy Buffett | |
| For William Faulkner | |
| If I could just get it on paper | |
| The things that have happened tonight | |
| That seems to me to be the big key | |
| I'm havin' too good a time to ever turn | |
| Out the lights | |
| Go to bed wake up with a clear head | |
| Recallin' what made it a ball | |
| Yes if I could just get it on paper | |
| I might make some sense of it all | |
| If I could tell half of the stories | |
| The funny way most things begin | |
| Figure ways to disguise all the half-truths and lies | |
| Find the heart of my song with the point of a pen | |
| Simple words can become clever phrases | |
| And chapters could turn into books | |
| Yes if I could just get it on paper | |
| But it's harder than it ever looks | |
| (instrumental) | |
| All alone on the edge of the water | |
| Hidin' out by the Sea of Cortez | |
| With my sketch pads and Flairs | |
| Tapes and battery spares | |
| It's just no comprehendo to what everyone says | |
| Time alone seemed to work well for Faulkner | |
| Time away seems to work for the kid | |
| Life and ink they run out at the same time | |
| Or so said my old friend the squid | |
| Yes if I could just get it on paper tonight | |
| I could tell you what I think I did |
