Uncle John’s Band Jimmy Buffett

[Verse 1]
Well, the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry anymore
'Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at the door
Think this through with me, let me know your mind
Oh, oh, all I want to know is are you kind

[Verse 2]
It's a buck, dancer's choice, my friend, you better take my advice
You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice
Will you come with me, won't you come with me?
Oh, oh, all I want to know, will you come with me?

[Chorus 1]
God damn, I declare
Have you seen the light?
Their walls are built with cannonballs
Their motto is "Don't tread on me"
Come hear Uncle John's band
Playing to the tide
Come on along or go alone
He's come to take his children home

[Verse 3]
It's the same story the crow told me, it's the only one he knows
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go
Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait
Oh, oh, all I want to know, where does the time go?
