Correction Lyrics Going Down To Cuba by Jackson Browne

Back

Lyrics

Sometimes I get to feeling low
Wish I could just pick up and go
Somewhere new change my point of view
Maybe somewhere I don&#146;t know
Toss the idea to and fro
Not sure what makes it come and go
There it is again sweet music on the wind
Over the Gulf of Mexico

I&#146;m going to down to Cuba someday soon
Following that Caribbean moon
It&#146;s been too long since I&#146;ve been there
I&#146;m going down there to see my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
Where women wear gardenias in their hair

People will tell you it&#146;s not easy
You&#146;re not supposed to go, they say
They say that Cuba is the enemy
I&#146;m going down there anyway

I&#146;m going down to Cuba to see my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
And no problem is too difficult to solve
Yeah times are tough down there it&#146;s true
But you know they&#146;re gonna make it through
They make such continuous use of the verb to resolve
They&#146;ve got to deal with that embargo
Enough to drive any country insane
They might not know the things you and I know
They do know what to do in a hurricane
Maybe I&#146;ll go through Mexico
Old Jesse Helms don&#146;t have to know
Anyway all the allies of the USA
Travel to Cuba everyday

I&#146;m going down to Cuba to see my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
Where by comparison my trouble will just unravel
I&#146;m North American, you know
Don&#146;t like to hear where I can&#146;t go
Free people will insist on the freedom to travel

I&#146;m gonna drink the running mojito
And walk out on the malecón
In one hand a monte cristo
And in the other an ice cream cone

I&#146;m going down to cuba with my band
We&#146;re going to formulate a plan
Whereby we obtain that cultural delusion

If I told you once I told you thrice
It&#146;ll put a smile on your face to see a Chevrolet with a soviet transmission
I bet the country cast a spell
And there are things I think of still
Like the beauty of that woman that spoke to me
In the hotel nacional

I&#146;m gonna book my flight today
I&#146;m definitely on my way
Just hold my place and I&#146;ll get back in the race
And I&#146;m back in the USA
