Jimmy Buffett Treat Her Like a Lady lyrics

Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess that's the reason why
I treat her like a lady, just treat her like a lady

Now I don't like the sound of the ground movin' 'round
Or winds spinnin' out of control
California earthquakes, only seem to make a me
Shake, rattle and roll

I've been too long on the mainland
Hotels, rental cars, and phones
Time to cast 'em aside, catch the very next tide
And go back where I belong

Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess that's the reason why
I treat her like a lady, treat her like a lady

Now great whales travel the rhumb lines
Dodging those deadly harpoons
Spawning their young as their ancestors done
In the depths of her hidden lagoons

There're times I find myself with them

And times I feel as they do
We're on a similar course, it's just a different source
But I'm in danger of extinction too

Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess that's the reason why
I treat her like a lady, treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady, treat her like a lady
And miss her when I'm gone

(Lady, lady)
Treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady)
Treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady)
Got to treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady)
Treat her like a lady

(Lady, lady)
(Lady, lady)
(Lady, lady)
