Changing Channels

Changing Channels By: Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally 1989 Girl of a thousand faces From a long line of basket cases Daughter of a fortune teller Oh the lovely Isabella Chorus: She's changing channels Stayin' on her toes She's just changing channels As she goes This place is full of beachhead sailors Fishermen and old retailers Simple lives are so deep seated And history always gets repeated Some folks see a birds eye view Others haven't got a clue Some will go and some will stay It doesn't matter anyway Chorus: They are changing channels Crazy girls and boys They'll be changing channels Changing toys Survivors of tidal waves Children of former slaves Strange how they all behave Like it's another world There's an island in the ocean Where the people stay in motion Somewhere on the old gulf stream Do they live or did I dream Chorus: They were changing channels Waitin' for their sails to fill They'll be changing channels Always will They'll be changing channels Waitin' for their sails to fill They'll be changing channels Always will To Joseph Campbell and Bruce Chadwick whose words and thoughts were an Inspiration. To Charlie Allen and Lt. Jim "Amos" Anderson whose spirits Linger with me though their days on the planet were far too few.
