Biography

Born December 25, 1946 in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Passed away September 1, 2023 in Sag Harbor, Long Island, NY. Singer, songwriter, actor (Repoman, Congo), and author has inspired a cult following of "Parrotheads" and now a second generation known as a "Parakeets". Buffett began his recording career in Nashville, TN, recording country-rock in the 1960's but finally releasing his first record in 1970 and then moving to Key West to develop his beach bum attitude.

LYRICS

It's never been the same since you returned from dreamin'
With your nursery rhyme excuses your picture postcards gleamin'
Tellin' everyone who looks your way 'bout people and their sinnin'
While you left field verse is fallin' in proportion to your winnin'
And I can't be your hero today
I'm through with the simple games you play
It just may take some time for me to even up the score
But I can't be your soldier home from war

And there you sit shouting that there's still hope for us
While nature holds the handcuffs on a Capricorn and Taurus
There's nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp
Go fill up all your savings books and buy yourself a lamp

And I can't be your hero today
Your wholesale price is much to high to pay
A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love
And I can't be your Superman above

No I can't be your hero today
That is all I really want to say
Go find a leading man who wants to play
And I can't be your hero today
