Jimmy Buffett - Trip Around The Sun Lyrics
[Jimmy:]
Hear 'em singing happy birthday
Better think about the wish I make
This year gone by
Ain't been a piece of cake.
[Martina:]
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun.
[Jimmy and Martina:]
I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control.
If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go.
[Martina:]
No you never see it coming,
Always wind up wondering where it went.
[Jimmy:]
Only time will tell
If it was time well spent.
It's another revelation,
[Martina:]
Celebrating what I should have done
With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun.
[Martina and Jimmy:]
I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control.
If there's one thing I have learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go.
[Bridge]
[Jimmy:]
Yes I'll make a resolution
[Martina:]
That I'll never make another one.
[Jimmy and Martina:]
Just enjoy this ride on my
Trip around the sun.
Just enjoy this ride
On my trip around the sun...
Trip around the sun.

Jimmy Buffett Trip Around The Sun Comments
Cane here to listen to my birthday song. 55 today!
Best birthday song ever
Omg I get Chills
This song.....
What a great tune
♡♡♡
The only line I disagree with is "Only time will tell if it was time well spent." I was engaged for 4 years until it ended. Even though it wasn't the expected outcome, it WAS time well spent. Wouldn't trade it.
I am taking by trip in 1 hour 12 minutes...turning 60!❤
Just a great song by two talented artists... Martina never looked or sounded better and Jimmys other birthday song off the Christmas album is just as good.:
Watching this today... my birthday. 56 trips around the sun for me. Thank you Jimmy, Martina.
This song only gets better with time. It’s like a fine wine.
One more trip.
today ends my 33rd trip around the sun and starts my 34th.
What kind of plane is it?
That’s a Stearman. I think it’s the type that my dad trained in during WW2 at Pensacola.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! I LISTEN TO THIS SONG EVERY YEAR. STILL LOVE IT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. ❤💚💛
Any one who makes millions doing what they love and doing it in surf trunks and sandals is good in my book
Happy Birthday Timmy!
Love these two! Such a beautiful song! Today is my 48th trip around the sun
Just ended my 34th trip with a meniscus tear surgery
Love it!:)
My 30th next month I love You Martina Been a fan for over 12 years!!
Now starting on my 50th trip.
im 50 today... this song really says it all!!! thanks jimmy and martina!!
Great song. 57 trips heading for 58. But it wouldn’t mean a thing if I let go.
My birthday double play: this and Cherry Bomb. Starting trip #50 on 1/22. (Hello AARP).
Today begins lap 28 on my trip around the sun.
Congratulations on #28! Come January 22nd I will be starting lap number 50.
Loved this. First time hearing it.
Today is my birthday. Love this song.
Birthday time and this song came to mind. Had to lean back and listen.
Martina has never looked so good in a video !! Oh yeah, and it's great song also !
We buried my mother 5 months ago. I find both sadness and comfort in this song. Life goes on. Soon I will be celebrating my oldest daughter's 3rd birthday, the first without Mom. Don't allow me to be depressed, Mom. Help me to celebrate the happy times without you 💔
Epic Musicians and song! I read Jimmy Buffett's book. YouTube - Jonny Weiss "Back to Phoenix." A trendy Music Video.
so glad I got to listen to this on my 25th trip
I share this with my friends and family on their birthdays.
best song ever
Will listen to this every trip around the sun.
I am getting ready for my 65th trip around the sun this September. Hope I can blow out all the candles then eat what's left of the burnt cake. Love the song!
Yes the world is round thank God. 24 and 365
Stupid comment
love tripping around this old sun!!!
Thanks Tom!
This is simply one of my favorite songs, year after year . . .
February 2nd marks my 46th trip around the sun.. every year I play this song ....
this song is SO TRUE
it wouldn't change a thing if I let go .....,.....
we often cling to life and the souvenirs ...but when we release the dove, for example, and no longer seek to hold it close,... it can fly free... when it returns, the meaning of its presence is greater than before. I wouldn't change a thing if I let go, but it WILL change a thing when it returns...
I share this with everybody that's having a birthday on Facebook - without exception they all love it!
This song and video captures so well the melancholy mood I often get in fall
Ironic that someone reposted this song...on Martina's Birthday :-) :-)
Starting my 29th trip now 🎉🎊
33 trips today! Listen to this every year for the last six years or so.
Sent to me by a friend! I love the message in the song.
Does anyone know where I can download the song? It is such a great song!
"License to Chill" (the album this song is from) is now available for digital download.
Singularly and Unison is fun under the Sun. I Woman I know can grow up and get old and the older the bolder. Happy birthday 🎁
I bought this Martina CD for my wife several years ago and I never knew there was a video of this song. Great!
I meant to say Jimmy Buffett License to Chill album. I can't sing and type at the same time.
my 60 th hope I make another!!!!
love this song
I have been looking for this song for years
Guess my 18th trip has started... <3

Starting trip number 48 today.
My 45th trip!!! What a ride 😂
the sun is a little lower in the sky than it used to be
32nd trip tomorrow

Probably still one of my favorites. I listen to it every year on my birthday.
moonlitenmagic yep, I consider this my birthday song
It is one of his very best tunes (that he wrote). I could easily listen to it several times daily.
@D TheBassman I'm listening to it on my half birthday July 22,2019(50 and a half.)
Just wanted you to know that I do the same thing. Today is my birthday and I keep listening going back to listen to it.
Me, too, on mine.. :)

Tomorrow is my 57th trip around the sun.
I have collected some pretty good souvenirs.
Hopefully many more.
Today was my 62nd trip around the sun.
Dig the subliminal AZHIAZIAM on the kids surfboard stickers after Martina sings "Every day's a Revolution" AZHIAZIAM = AS HIGH AS I AM at 30 seconds
I love this duet, song, and video!
Anyone know if the lady in the grey sweater on the bike and standing by him at the dinner table is
Jimmy's wife?
You see her in the "Come Monday" video but not sure if this is the same person.
Mark Humphrey thats Martina on the bike.
49 trips....but I listen to this over and over....guess I should be careful
well to much glitching
ME TOO!
Starting my 32nd trip tomorrow.
Is that Carole King at 2:04?
+Nick Nelson Nope. :)
beginning trip number 47 right now
244p... REALLY? like i know it is old but youtube could do at least 460p in 2009...
Martina McBride is so beautiful.
Hey, for New Year's this is better than Auld Lang Syne!

Starting my 27th trip around the sun today🎉🎁🎈🎊🎂☀️
Happy b day
1/22/69.
Beautiful song
Seriously, how can you not like this song?
I'm making my 5th trip today! ♡
Just turned 35 yesterday....
I haven't heard this song since It came out and was on the top 20 countdown on CMT and today for some reason It popped up In my mind lol...
Just keep hanging on....
Ya know, the more and more music I listen to and discover, I find that we as humans can have an infinite number of perspectives ranging from positive to abysmal. But, occasionally, I find some perspectives that really are thought provoking, usually the more depressing ones catch your attention. Like that excerpt from Jimmy Buffet’s ‘Trip Around The Sun’. We are only around on this Earth for so long, doing our day to day things, but eventually we have to say goodbye. No matter how badly you try, after our passing, the Earth just keeps doing what is does best, spin. Nothing changes if just one of us meets our creator tomorrow, we just need to enjoy the ride until it’s time to get off... Perhaps I’m digging into this further than what needs to be, but this is just one of those lyrics that just makes you stop and think...
@Glade Travitz You find it depressing, I find it inspiring. This makes me want to live everyday to the best it can be, embrace life - because it could end at any moment. Take from this song what you will. That's the beauty of music - it means different things for everyone.
Did Jimmy do those stunts?
There's no better "Happy Birthday" song than this!!!
You know it!
theres a throwback to another one of Jimmy's songs in the video. He used to ride a red bike around Key west many moons ago.
30 10-06
8/21. Another trip around the sun. :)
My Birthday Song! Love!
I post this every year on Facebook on my birthday...but when my father passed in 2013, I truly meant Jimmy's lyric about "this year gone by ain't been a piece of cake"...and I cherish that birthday and this one I just had Sunday...
happy birthday myron
What a crazy trip!
Happy Birthday to Martina McBride and her little brother, Darryl "Marty" Schiff. Many happy returns! How true this song is. I just came from the funeral of my friend Thomas Robert Ball, Jr. He died suddenly of a heart attack at age 62 on July 18. RIP Tom! Love you, and I'll see you in Heaven!
