Jimmy Buffett - Back To The Island Lyrics
Now the day is done
And I sit alone and think of you girl
What would I do without you in my life
Wonderin' if you love me or
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Listen to the sea roll in
I'll be thinkin' of you
And how it might've been
Listen to the nightbird cry
Watch the sun set die
Well I hope you understand
Threaded in my heart
Tears are falling down
I know down in my soul
I'm really gonna miss you
Caan't end this way
For all the games we've played.
So I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Listen to the sea roll in
I'll be thinkin' of you
And how it might've been
Listen to the nightbird cry
Watch the sun set die
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Listen to the sea roll in
I'll be thinkin' of you
And how it might've been
Listen to the nightbird cry
Watch the sun set die
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island

Jimmy Buffett Back To The Island Comments
I love Jimmy; but this song belongs to Leon and the ghosts of the past that I sail with....now my only crew.
I understand--- safe sailing!
Thanks for mentioning this. My favorite Leon Russell song.
Anybody know where the opening island izzzzzzz ?????
Love the Island! Such a nice song Jimmy
Love Jimmy, but Leon's original is like 50x better than this...
True but like most of JBs songs, the spirit and genuiness of the man makes up for it.
I'll be thinking of You!
Did the Captin and Tennille get this song from him or did he from them?
LoL ... now that's funny!
Neither! This is an Original song by Leon Russell
Horrible cover of a Leon Russell classic
THE WORST!!! Leave well enough alone. Massacre of a gorgeous song, Leon is rolling in his grave
Care to actually explain why it's bad or are you just being a toxic little shit?
@diana solberg Leon was alive when Jimmy recorded this. They were on friendly terms. Songwriters appreciated others cutting their songs. After all, it is a compliment and they do make royalty fees too. I happen to be a huge Leon fan and I like love his version but there's no need to slam this one.
@Chlynn13 B oh c'mon, sounds like a highschool chorus.
Leon's version tugs on my heartstrings, but jimmy's ain't so bad. If no one covers your music you're not doing it right.
Let's go see Ernest back at Key West, Buff-Boy!!
How I feel When Lusamine betrays me at the end of Pokémon Sun and Moon. (Emerald sniffles and thinks of her) I know she didn't mean to cause harm.. I could feel it in her.... But... did she really love me back..? This song... is Basically that in a nutshell..
This is beautiful, thanks for sharing! :)
Looks just like the coast around Barahona Dominican Republic.
This is nearly my wifes theme song. She wants to vacation on Sanibel again..Never knew it was written by Leon Russel.
you need to look tell her she may want to go this way
It's beautiful I love to listen to old J B
You really think this horrible rendition is even listenable, makes me want to puke
