Somewhere Over China 
By: Jimmy Buffett 
1981 
For the Crazy Flying Tigers 
Just a semi-normal person 
Thought he had the future planned 
Then he won some silly sweepstakes 
Now he had a hundred grand 
Never stopped to think of taxes 
He was gone before they knew 
With a flair for ol' romantics 
To the Orient he flew 

When they fueled in Papeete 
Placed a call to Big Mamou 
With an honest explanation 
Just to tell the whole damn truth 
It's his one chance in a million 
Who'd deny the simple fact 
'Twas no use to talk it over 
He'd be home when he got back 

Chorus: 
Now he's somewhere over China 
Lookin' down on all the trails 
On the mountains lookin' back at him 
It's a real live fairy tale 
Put a little distance 
Between causes and effects 
Like a day old fortune cookie 
Askin' who or what comes next 

What the hell did Marco Polo think 
When he ran into the wall 
Or the crazy Flying Tigers 
Doin' spins and loops and stalls 
Just a taste for somethin' different 
Perking up a borin' day 
Now our man from Louisiana 
Feels exactly the same way 

Chorus: 
They're all somewhere over China 
Shanghai or old Peking 
On a plane or a boat in an envelope 
Real adventure has its ring 
Just to put a little distance 
Between fact and fantasy 
Still six thousand miles away from 
Where I'd really rather be 

How I would love to drive the shuttle 
Just to feel the engines roar 
And to operate the levers 
That control the payload doors 
I could buzz the Himalayas 
Barrel roll above Hong Kong 
Set her down in San Francisco 
To the clangin' of a gong 

Chorus: 
We're all somewhere over China 
Headin' east or headin' west 
Takin' time to live a little 
Flyin' so far from the nest 
Just to put a little distance 
Between causes and effects 
Like an ancient fortune teller 
Knowin' who and what comes next
