Changes in Latitudes Changes in Attitudes    Jimmy Buffett (#37 in 1977)

I took off for a weekend last month Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places Wonderin’ where they all disappeared

I didn’t ponder the question too long I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum and we wound up drinkin’ all night

    It’s these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
    Nothing remains quite the same
    With all of our running and all of our cunning
    If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane

 
Reading departure signs in some big airport reminds me of the places I’ve been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches I’ve seen more than I can recall

 
(2nd Chorus:)
    These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
    Nothing remains quite the same
    Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
    If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane

 
I think about Paris when I’m high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin’ again
Oh, yesterday’s over my shoulder
So I can’t look back for too long
There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can’t go wrong

 
(Last Chorus:)
    With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
    Nothing remains quite the same
    With all of my running and all of my cunning
    If I couldn’t laugh I just would go insane
    If we couldn’t laugh we just would go insane
    If we weren’t all crazy we would go insane
