Presents to Send You Songtext
von Jimmy Buffett

By: Jimmy Buffett
1974
Well now I′m in love with a fast-movin' angel
Dresses like the city girls do
When we′re apart there's no ache in my heart
When we're together we′re a hell of a crew

Chorus:
And I got presents to send you
Even got money to lend you
But honey I can never ever pretend
You′re not there on my mind

There sits a fifth of Tequila
God I swore I'd never drink it again
But my last little bout I had my hair pulled out
By a man who really wasn′t my friend
And I know I'll never see him again


Chorus:
Yeah but I got presents to send you
I′ve even got money to lend you
But honey I can never ever pretend
You're not there on my mind

Yeah, I thought I might sail down to Bridgetown
Spend some time in the Barbados sun
But my plans took a skid when I smoked a whole lid
Wound up where I′d begun

Chorus:
Yes and I got presents to send you
I've even got money to lend you
But honey I can never ever pretend
You're not there on my mind

(instrumental)

Chorus:
Yes and I got presents to send you
I′ve even got money to lend you
But honey I can never ever pretend
You′re not there on my mind

Coda:
You're not there on my mind...
