Jimmy Buffett - Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On Lyrics






I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, we've seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain leaking through the door, tides at war

If a hurricane doesn't leave you dead
It will make you strong
Don't try to explain it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

[Guitar Solo]

And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain buried the 9th Ward to the 2nd floor

According to my watch the time is now
Past is dead and gone
Don't try to shake it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Don't try to explain it just bow your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Jimmy Buffett Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On Comments
  1. J.... S....

    Peaceful song

  2. S.... S....

    Thanks for the great video. This song is the www.singdaily.com Song of the Day for Sunday, December 1, 2019. Enjoy!

  3. L.... W....

    howdy! you said this 3 yrs ago but it is true and he’s a special tonic - a different version of margaritas that rights the tide of life’s waves:) getting balance is another good way to say it! Love it! you go Jimmy! ❤️😘⭐️🌴

  4. S.... H....

    Without fail. My hero. Thank God. Got to see him when we were both in our early 20's on the back of a truck in Louisiana. One of our myriad festivals. Cherish it. We grew up together.

  5. M.... F....

    From interviews, he appears to be remarkably humble about his talent and appeal. Like George Strait, he's here for the long haul.

  6. p.... ....

    Great song! It’s almost spiritual.

  7. M.... B....

    Hurricane tune......Was hit at Ground Zero for Irma, Sept. '17. All of the destruction left me numb for weeks but got to work. What got this older parent to cry was finding the box I had with me forever containing gifts from my beloved Kids from their "Dick and Jane" years and then some, stashed in a high place, that got filled and ruined with smelly mud anyhow. You can't take that with you when you go but I will miss the blessed reminders.

  8. w.... m....

    All of the time I’ve wasted on self help books, counseling, searching for the meaning of life, and all I need is a couple of true friends, a margarita and a Jimmy Buffet sound track. ❤️

  9. A.... L....

    Mr welters class where you at

  10. J.... P....

    Played this right after surviving Hurricane Dorian.

  11. c.... ....

    Dealing with Stage four cancer and all it’s aftermaths. Sometimes all I can do is breath in, breath out. I will be moving on soon enough...
    Fast update. They just found an egg size tumor in my brain. No worries, got this...

    c.... ....

    Jimmy soothes my soul, I hope the same for you. Take care and keep your fin up!

    c.... ....

    Blessings and ((HUGS)) to you

  12. S.... ....

    My friend sent me here because I'm a basketcase filled to bursting with self loathing. Good evening Mr Buffet.

    S.... ....

    My favorite American singer. An inspiration and icon. Number one on my bucket list to meet him and see a concert. <3

    S.... ....

    I hope you’re doing better

    S.... ....

    @pageturner I genuinely am thank you!

  13. P.... S....

    If you are old enough to read this, please realize that Mr. Buffet is a once in a lifetime talent. See him when you are able, and always let him know that you are a parrot head!

  14. D.... B....

    Always return to this song when I need to. I know there's the Parrothead party aspect to his fan base, but late into the concerts, this is why I love his music. Thanks, Jimmy.

    D.... B....

    Jimmy is SOOOOO much more than a parrot head party.

  15. T.... W....

    As a hard core member of the No Shoes Nation that is Kenny Chesney I can't help but give credit to the Parrotheads. I think Jimmy started this lifestyle and we're all living it among our own generation. I love this shit ❤

  16. D.... R....

    Wow!! Thank You!

  17. B.... M....

    BiBoMo is a great motto. I grew up listening to Jimmy - his albums were the first ones I played when I was old enough to use the record player. No matter what mood you're in, there's a Buffett song to match.

    B.... M....

    I completely agree.

  18. B.... W....

    I grew up in and around New Orleans (1950s) I cried for weeks after Katrina. Best line from the song is the part about the hurricane not leaving you dead. SO TRUE. Life is like that. How you respond is what makes you strong. (Or, not. According to my watch it is NOW.

  19. B.... S....

    Perfect

  20. K.... W....

    I've said that Buffett hadn't written a decent song since the '70s, but then I thought of this one. His first few albums were truly great (the second side of A1A stands up against most any album side I've ever heard), but once he started making money and his Parrothead cult began, I think he forgot his roots... https://youtu.be/2XzMbUWjIvM

    K.... W....

    I’ve been a Buffett fan since I was 12 my older brother subjected me to hours of his music from the 70s and you are 100 percent right he is and was a writer long before he became a famous singer if you watch him closely the parrot head routine seems to get a bit old even for him he is an old soul and a very rich one at that but son of a sailor. Come Monday nobody speaks to the captain no more his rendition of Bruce cochburns pacing the cage I could list one really good ballad on every one of his albums but give the people what they want and spend their money on what winds your watch isn’t that what we all do great comment I agree wholeheartedly

    K.... W....

    Kent Weissinger yes we all grow up a bit and we all change jimmies early stuff is still relevant but it’s not the writing and performance of a multi millionaire yet his rendition of pacing the cage tells me there’s still a lot of 70s in Buffetts music it’s just not front and center like it used to be

  21. A.... V....

    It never fails.
    It all about relax

  22. L.... M....

    jimmy why is he not in the hall of fame

    L.... M....

    Larry Monahan Totally agree. If there was ever a petition to get “the man from Margaritaville” into the hall of fame, I would very happily sign it in a split second. JB deserves it completely.

    Although as Buffett himself said on the into to Come Monday on the Feeding Frenzy album, “I've never won an award for any music that I've written, but I don't really care when I have fans like Parrotheads…you're an award enough!”

    L.... M....

    thank you jimmy not liked by the music establishment my god Donovan is in the hall fame remember him what a joke

  23. J.... V....

    According to my watch, the past is gone but Jimmy is not. Parrothead Poet, well done my friend. Found Jimmy in the early 80's. Still a huge fan and always will be. Last time I saw Jimmy was at the Jones Beach Theater here on Long Island where I live. A stage on the water, perfect night and a few cold Land Sharks and Jimmy playing. That memory might be gone but not forgotten!!!

  24. T.... G....

    I love this song it help me when I’m having a rough time

  25. S.... S....

    This is perfect for my Special Ed Class for the good and the bad days - Our theme song!

  26. K.... G....

    Genetics made me a parrot head but my love for jimmy kept me faithful. 💕 especially this song after losing my daughter kept me strong. 😭

    K.... G....

    God bless you Kate.

    K.... G....

    Me, too, after losing my son.

  27. C.... W....

    This song helps me remember to put one foot in front of the other. Saving me from tears and helps me go for a run and push harder instead. Jimmy is my go to for motivation! Thank you Jimmy you've saved me more than I can count. I'm using your books now to move on and smile along the journey.

  28. M.... L....

    bought this album over ten years ago--this is the chillest track on it!

  29. b.... ....

    Beautiful and touching song, beautiful background. Thanks for posting.

  30. C.... S....

    Wish I could................................

    C.... S....

    you can, you are.

  31. D.... O....

    Reminds me of a good life on a LA island before hurricane Frederick. Gathered near the radio , with Ms Murphy , because they were going to play one of his songs close to midnight. This sounds like his heart and soul before Parrot Head tag. It makes me happy and hopeful.😘

    D.... O....

    Frederick changed Gulf Shores forever! I kinda miss the old Gulf Shores, before the “condo explosion” when they rebuilt after Frederick. I remember (down on Perdido Key I think) an old ship used by the Navy for target practice was beached by Frederick. Long ago...

  32. M.... M....

    Sage advice from Bubba.

  33. A.... A....

    Our school dedicated this song to a teacher who recently died. rip Mr. Walz

  34. D.... B....

    What a beautiful background image. What a great song.

  35. D.... J....

    I love this song &it is because my Brother & I lost our mother in 2014, when we found out that our mother had gotten stomach Cancer &this is what I use to say to my mom all the time . mom we miss you very much &we will see you again love your Daughter Diane

  36. p.... ....

  41. A.... M....

    It never fails. Something about the mystique that is Jimmy. Every time the world shits on ya, this music can help ya get your balance. Sounds kinda corny, but it is what it is. lol

    A.... M....

    Best music ever.
    Jimmy reaches into my mind and heart. Best advice ever:
    Breath in, breath out, move on.

    A.... M....

    100% agree ! His Energy is so Real ! :)

    A.... M....

    @Sophia Willowood Doesn't Jimmy say you can pray to Jesus or a flock of pink flamingos?

    A.... M....

    Well said! Found this on my birthday, thank you for posting it.

    A.... M....

    Not corny at all!!!! Jimmy's SPECIAL!!!!

  42. K.... ....

    My home town was one of the first to fall to Katrina's fury, even before New Orleans.  I don't think it will ever again be what it once was.  You can only survive so many beat downs.  Breathe in, breathe out, move on is good advice for life.  You can move on and live another day or die on your feet where you stand.

    K.... ....

    Kraals ❤

  43. B.... W....

    Been through many, love this song

    B.... W....

    Went thru my first ... Irma... I'm a Northern transplant until almost 5 yrs ago. Love Jimmy's music. I hope another Katrinia doesn't come by in...forever. Bless all.

  44. S.... N....

    This is the best song ❤️ it

  45. D.... W....

    Yep Katrina made a lot of us breathe in breathe out and move on

    D.... W....

  46. C.... M....

  47. B.... S....

    I want a Watch Like this.

    L.... J....

    +Laury Janus That's what Jimmy does, right? This is classic Buffett
