If I Could Just Get It On Paper Jimmy Buffett

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
All alone on the edge of the water
Hidin' out by the Sea of Cortez
With my sketch pads and flares, tapes and battery spares
It's just no comprehendo to what everyone says
