| Pre-You Written by: Jimmy Buffett/Ralph MacDonald/William Salter Performed by: Jimmy Buffett Originally from the Album: Hot Water (1988) |
| Jimmy’s Notes: I never learn much from listening to myself, but other people are a wealth of information. This title came while I was riding an elevator at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. A sailor was telling his buddy that he had run into an old girlfriend on the beach in Mexico while he was on his honeymoon. “What did you tell your wife?” the buddy asked. “I just said, ‘Oh baby, she was pre-you.'” By the time the elevator hit the ground floor, I had the first verse, and I took the roots of this tune to New York and finished it with Ralph Macdonald and Bill Salters. Ralph produced this track and got Grover Washington Jr. to play the solo (in case you think you’ve heard this style of horn before). |
| Lyrics: Mysterious lost weekend in a land where time stands still Where people fall in love again just for one more thrill My girl and I went walking by the Caribbean sea Someone snorkeled by raised her head up high And my girl said who's she? Chorus We'll blame it on the weather Chorus Instumental Long ago we were close but the fire went out Chorus |
