[00:-2.00]Jackson Browne - Going Down To Cuba
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:23.17]Sometimes I get to feeling low
[00:28.74]Wish I could just pick up and go
[00:33.75]Somewhere new change my point of view
[00:39.84]Maybe somewhere I don't know
[00:45.50]Toss the idea to and fro
[00:51.02]Not sure what makes it come and go
[00:55.84]There it is again sweet music on the wind
[01:02.09]Over the Gulf of Mexico
[01:04.84]
[01:06.46]I'm going to down to Cuba someday soon
[01:09.39]Following that Caribbean moon
[01:13.39]It's been too long since I've been there
[01:17.53]I'm going down there to see my friends
[01:20.38]Down where the rhythm never ends
[01:23.76]Where women wear gardenias in their hair
[01:27.47]
[01:30.15]People will tell you it's not easy
[01:35.65]You're not supposed to go, they say
[01:41.23]They say that Cuba is the enemy
[01:46.83]I'm going down there anyway
[01:49.90]
[01:51.06]I'm going down to Cuba to see my friends
[01:54.02]Down where the rhythm never ends
[01:57.21]And no problem is too difficult to solve
[02:02.27]Yeah times are tough down there it's true
[02:04.86]But you know they're gonna make it through
[02:08.10]They make such continuous use of the verb to resolve
[02:14.72]They've got to deal with that embargo
[02:20.24]Enough to drive any country insane
[02:25.82]They might not know the things you and I know
[02:31.21]They do know what to do in a hurricane
[02:36.65]Maybe I'll go through Mexico
[02:42.50]Old Jesse Helms don't have to know
[02:47.38]Anyway all the allies of the USA
[02:53.64]Travel to Cuba everyday
[02:56.42]
[02:58.00]I'm going down to Cuba to see my friends
[03:00.75]Down where the rhythm never ends
[03:04.06]Where by comparison my trouble will just unravel
[03:09.11]I'm North American, you know
[03:11.69]Don't like to hear where I can't go
[03:15.23]Free people will insist on the freedom to travel
[03:18.89]
[03:21.64]I'm gonna drink the running mojito
[03:27.21]And walk out on the malecón
[03:32.77]In one hand a monte cristo
[03:38.29]And in the other an ice cream cone
[03:41.64]
[03:42.58]I'm going down to cuba with my band
[03:45.32]We're going to formulate a plan
[03:48.43]Whereby we obtain that cultural delusion
[03:52.59]
[03:53.90]If I told you once I told you thrice
[03:57.13]It'll put a smile on your face
[04:00.85]to see a Chevrolet with a soviet transmission
[04:05.21]
[04:51.72]I bet the country cast a spell
[04:57.37]And there are things I think of still
[05:01.88]Like the beauty of that woman that spoke to me
[05:08.38]In the hotel nacional
[05:11.24]
[05:14.01]I'm gonna book my flight today
[05:19.58]I'm definitely on my way
[05:24.67]Just hold my place and I'll get back in the race
[05:30.71]And I'm back in the USA
[05:34.22]
