Absolutely love both songs.. but Come Monday edges out.. :D

When Elrod sent me some flowers once, he signed it "Come Monday It'll be alright", cause he was going to be here that Monday. :cry: :cry: ;)

Close call..........Come Monday calms me down no matter HOW stressed I am....but I also love "Livin'..."..............................so I voted for what I thought MIGHT be the "underdog"...........so it's "That's What Livin' Is To Me".

TWLITM gets my vote. I always wished I could have been in Whoopi Goldberg's place when Jimmy sang that on her show.

Ditto - guess we are in the minority....

We've got a lyrical mention of mail-boat, smirk-worthy literary puns, and a beautiful, light melody -- it's "Living" hands down for me.

Be Good, and you will be lonesome
Be Lonesome and you will be free.
Live a lie, and you will live to regret it.
That's what living is to me,
that's what living is to me


So true. I love the lyrics on TWLITM

Yeah I know Come Monday paid for the new underwear and the furniture. But that was a long time ago. :wink:

Both are good tunes and if you don't tire of either, then we don't too! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Come Monday, by far. That is the one song I play when I have to quell the doubters about Jimmy Buffett's music. It always works.

Come Monday reminds me of the first woman I loved and still miss :( , but TWLMTM just has something that, everytime I hear it, I feel not just good, but like everything is going to be all right....

Unfair ... "first" Buffett song I loves vs. favorite Buffett song.

Came down to the Jimmy in a room w/a guitar, which would I rather hear ... That's What Livin' is to Me

I promised myself to stop commenting on every pick I make but I felt this one was important. Love Come Monday. But on this one I really did have to go with the under dog. glad others did as well.
