Lyrics Livin' It Up - Jimmy Buffett
Livin′
It
Up
By:
Jimmy
Buffett,
Josh
Leo,
J.D.
Souther
1983
He
took
one
last
look
Tossed
that
address
book
His
odyssey
has
begun
No
time
to
see
sights
Ran
all
the
red
lights
Burned
all
his
bridges
Now
it's
love
on
the
run
Chorus:
Livin′
it
up
Is
takin'
all
of
his
time
But
he
ain't
givin′
it
up
It
suits
his
temperament
fine
Up
on
the
bandstand
Plays
for
a
few
fans
Workin′
for
minimum
wage
He
spots
her
lookin'
His
brain
is
cookin′
She
takes
her
seat
At
the
foot
of
the
stage
Chorus:
Livin'
it
up
Is
takin′
all
of
his
time
But
he
ain't
givin′
it
up
It
suits
his
temperament
fine
Yeah
he
loves
livin'
it
up
And
takin'
all
of
his
time
But
he
ain′t
givin′
it
up
It
never
crosses
his
mind
Didn't
say
much,
had
a
soft
touch
Knew
what
felt
good
in
her
man
He
was
the
same
way
and
they
split
the
next
day
Sang
all
the
way
through
the
Yucatan
Chorus:
Livin′
it
up
Is
takin'
all
of
our
time
But
we
ain′t
givin'
it
up
It
never
crosses
our
mind
No
no
no
he′s
just
livin'
it
up
And
takin'
all
of
his
time
But
he
ain′t
givin′
her
up
She
suits
his
temperament
fine
Yeah
she's
just
livin′
it
up
And
takin'
all
of
his
time
But
she
ain′t
givin'
him
up
It
never
crosses
her
mind
