Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
They're sendin' the old man home | |
Back where the buffalo roam | |
Out in the Pacific, they say he was the best | |
Now he's in his 'civies', headin' home like all the rest | |
He'll never forget Rosa Lee | |
Or sleepless nights he fought upon the sea | |
He'll only have the memories | |
Or great books by James Jones | |
'Cause they're sendin' the old man home | |
Faraway (Faraway) | |
Faraway (Faraway) | |
Another life so very far away | |
They'll tear down the officers clubs | |
And write off the overdue subs | |
So let's drink to their memories | |
Our heroes and our pals | |
To those crazy Navy flyers | |
To those swell Hawaiian gals | |
The sailors will dance in the street | |
Then they'll mothball the whole damn fleet | |
We'll only have the picture books | |
Of land, and sea, and foam | |
'Cause they're sendin' the old man home | |
He'll only have his memories | |
Or great books by James Jones | |
'Cause they're sendin' the old man home | |

Lyrics: Jimmy Buffett Music: Jimmy Buffett | |
They' re sendin' the old man home | |
Back where the buffalo roam | |
Out in the Pacific, they say he was the best | |
Now he' s in his ' civies', headin' home like all the rest | |
He' ll never forget Rosa Lee | |
Or sleepless nights he fought upon the sea | |
He' ll only have the memories | |
Or great books by James Jones | |
' Cause they' re sendin' the old man home | |
Faraway Faraway | |
Faraway Faraway | |
Another life so very far away | |
They' ll tear down the officers clubs | |
And write off the overdue subs | |
So let' s drink to their memories | |
Our heroes and our pals | |
To those crazy Navy flyers | |
To those swell Hawaiian gals | |
The sailors will dance in the street | |
Then they' ll mothball the whole damn fleet | |
We' ll only have the picture books | |
Of land, and sea, and foam | |
' Cause they' re sendin' the old man home | |
He' ll only have his memories | |
Or great books by James Jones | |
' Cause they' re sendin' the old man home | |
