Sending the Old Man Home
By: Jimmy Buffett
1979
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
