Jackson Browne lyrics : "going down to cuba"

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'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'm going to down to Cuba someday soon

Following that Caribbean moon


It's been too long since I've been there


I'm going down to Cuba with my friends

Down where the rhythm never ends


Where women where gardenias in their hair




People will tell you it's not easy


You're not supposed to go, they say


They say that Cuba is the enemy

I'm going down there anyway





I'm going down to Cuba to see my friends

Down where the rhythm never ends


No problem is too difficult to solve


Yeah times are tough down there it's true

But you know they're going to make it through


They make such continuous use of the verb to resolve


They'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'll go through Mexico


Old Jesse Helms don't have to know


Anyway all the allies of the new message

Travel to Cuba everyday





I'm going down to Cuba to see my friends

Down where the rhythm never ends


Where by comparison my trouble will just unravel

I'm North American, you know


Don't like to hear where I can't go

Free people will insist on the freedom to travel




I'm going to drink the running mojito

And walk out on the manecom


In one hand a monte cristo

And in the other and ice cream cone




I'm going down to cuba with my band

We're going to formulate a plan

Whereby we obtain that cultural ??




If I told you once I told you thrice

It'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'm gonna book my flight today

I'm definitely on my way


Just hold my place and I'll get back in the race

And I'm back in the USA
