Treat Her Like A Lady - Jimmy Buffett

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
