Lyrics:

By: Jimmy Buffett

1975

Stashed his trash in Ecuador

Bought a good suit of clothes

Flew on up to Mexico

Standin' by the shore



Waitin' for some mystery man

To pay him for his time

But thinkin' about all the money he'd made

Couldn't help to ease his mind



Havana daydreamin'

Boy he's just dreamin'

His life away



His daddy chopped that sugar cane

One day he fell dead

Jesus had a wanderin' feelin'

Swimmin' around in his head



Sailin' on a midnight boat

There were no questions asked

The water so green and the air was so clean

He just stuck right to his task



Havana daydreamin'

Boy he's just schemin'

His life away



(instrumental)



Ceilin' fan it stirs the air

Cigar smoke does swirl

The fragrance on the pillowcase

And he thinks about the girl



Spillin' wine and sharin' good times

She sure could make him smile

He pays her well but what the hell

He'll be movin' in a little while



Havana daydreamin'

Boy he's just dreamin'

His life away



Havana daydreamin'

Boy he'll be dreamin'

His life away
