That's What Living is to Me 
By: Jimmy Buffett 
1988 
I would like to thank J.D. Souther for the book, Harry Belafonte for the early inspiration and Mark Twain for taking the trip long ago. 
-- Spoken: 
"Back toward the turn of the century, you know, Mark Twain took a trip around the world on a steamship and he wrote a book called 'Following the Equator'. And the opening page has a dedication that says, 'Be good, and you will be lonesome,' which for me, still seems to work in the fabulous eighties." 

Jason Mason hears the sound 
The whistle blows in Congo town 
And the mail boat's in, mail boat's in 
Brings him things from oh so far 
Old magazines and Snicker bars 
A simple man, a simple plan 
The world's too big to understand 

Chorus: 
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 livin' is to me 
That's what livin' is to me 

On a timeless beach in Hispaniola 
Young girl sips a diet cola 
She's worlds apart, worlds apart 
Spirit of the black king still 
Reverberates through Haitian hills 
He rules the sea and all the fish 
What if he had a TV dish? 

Chorus: 
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 livin' is to me 
That's what livin' is to me 

Now in the far off regions the foreign legion 
Keep the thieves and the predators at bay 
While closer to home some bad boys still roam 
The streets aren't safe so give it one more day 
One more day 
One more day 

Stories from my favorite books 
Still take on many different looks 
And I'm gone again, home again 
The time has come the walrus said 
And little oysters hide their head 
My Twain of thought is loosely bound 
I guess it's time to Mark this down 

Chorus: 
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 livin' is to me 
That's what livin' is to me 
That's what livin' is to me 
That's what livin' is to me 

-- Spoken: 
"Thank you, Mark."
