One of the songs on the record that I'm very proud of is a song I did with Jimmy Buffett
And it's a song that he wrote years ago called trying to reason with hurricane season to me that song is just true poetry and a [D] true
[D]
reflection of
Jimmy's ability to tell a story and to [A] capture a moment and to paint [G] a picture of that moment and [D] after Hurricane Irma and
Maria happened Jimmy invited me to come to a show with him in Tallahassee, [E] Florida
at Florida State [A] University and
[G] That was the song we sang together and it just seemed fitting that we you know I was I was making [C] a record
you [G] know for the people down here [A] and
You know I went into the I went into the [D] studio a couple of days [F#] later [A] and and laid down a really
[D] [Bm] This
simple track with [G] Mac McAnally and [Bm] Eric
[F#m] Darken as I was in there recording that song it hit me that I'm not sure that [G] Jimmy gets the credit he deserves
[A] Being a poet [D] like a true
songwriter storyteller poet a [Bm] lot like
Hemingway was in his time
[F#m]
Tennessee Williams [F#m] and a lot of people [G] that that
To [E] me are just great [D] storytellers.
I truly believe that Jimmy's one of those guys and if you listen to this song it
Stamps a moment in life [G] in in his life
And it [D] paints just such an unbelievable picture [G] and how relevant that song [D] is all these years later [E] to what's happening now
So that [Em] being said I mean it was just special to be in the [Am] studio recording that song
[D] That Jimmy had written about his reality
Years ago going through the same thing that we're going through [C] now.
You [G] know and
[A] it's so special [G] to have him on this record and
It's fitting that
[A]
We collaborated [D] on something that can help so many people
[Bm]
Because we both care about those people we care [F#m] about these islands all the locals that [A] that doesn't have vacation homes [G] here
This is their life
[F#] And it's very fitting [D] that Jimmy and I get to sing on one of his songs that I love
[Bm] That can help those people
