By: Jimmy Buffett Stashed his trash in Ecuador Bought a good suit of clothes Flew on up to Mexico Standin' by the shore Waitin' for some mystery man To pay him for his time But thinkin' about all the money he'd made Couldn't help to ease his mind Havana daydreamin' Boy he's just dreamin' His life away His daddy chopped that sugar cane One day he fell dead Jesus had a wanderin' feelin' Swimmin' around in his head Sailin' on a midnight boat There were no questions asked The water so green and the air was so clean He just stuck right to his task Havana daydreamin' Boy he's just schemin' His life away (instrumental) Ceilin' fan it stirs the air Cigar smoke does swirl The fragrance on the pillowcase And he thinks about the girl Spillin' wine and sharin' good times She sure could make him smile He pays her well but what the hell He'll be movin' in a little while Havana daydreamin' Boy he's just dreamin' His life away Havana daydreamin' Boy he'll be dreamin' His life away
