"I took off for a weekend last
Just to try and recall the whole .
All of the faces and all of the places
wonderin' where they all disappeared.
I didn't ponder the question too long

Ran into a with a bottle of ,
and we wound up drinkin' all night.

Chorus1
It's those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
nothing remains quite the same.
All of our running and all of our ,
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go .

Reading in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been.
Visions of good times, that brought so much pleasure
makes me want to go back again.
If it suddenly ended tomorrow,
I could somehow adjust to the fall.
Good times and and ,
I've seen more than I can recall.

Chorus2

I think about Paris when I'm high on ;
I wish I could jump on a plane.
So many nights I just dream of

Oh, yesterdays are over my shoulder
so I can't look back for too long.
there's just too much to see
waiting in front of me
and I know that I just can't go wrong."

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

Per usual, Jimmy threw a massive curveball at 1970s radio. The original album version explicitly drops the line "sons of bitches," which forced a squeaky-clean radio edit that changed the words to "some bruises, some stitches." But in a hilarious twist, "American Top 40" actually played the raw, unedited version by mistake exactly once when the song debuted in October of 1977.

The track also sparked a legendary, bitter feud with David Allan Coe. Jimmy publicly called out his former buddy for completely ripping off the musical backbone of the song for Coe's own track, "Divers Do It Deeper." If you listen to them side-by-side, it is incredibly obvious - right down to an identical, tropical, acoustic introduction. The bad blood was deeply personal, too. Back in the early '70s, the guys actually crashed together at a Key West house owned by children's author Shel Silverstein - who, funny enough, was the only responsible grown-up in the entire place. When people asked Jimmy why he didn't just sue Coe, he kept it totally real: "I didn't want to give Coe the pleasure of having his name in the paper."
