BUFFETT TIME  
C    F    C    F    C    G    C         


Verse I 
       C                   F
Well I know a lotta' people just like me 
    C                        F
Who love to gather 'round on Crystal Beach 
    C               G          C
And we'll do damned well as we please 
         C                       F
There'll always be somebody with somethin' to say 
   C                            F
A- - bout the way you choose to spend your days 
    C                          G                 C
And those are the ones who are just afraid to be free 
              C                     F
They tell ya' he did this, they say she did that 
    C                        F
But like ol' Merle I wear my own kinda hat 
   C                         G                C
If you don't like it you can move on down the line 
      C                   F
Don't really care whatcha say about me 
C                  F
I get along by my- -self you see 
    C                         G                C
And you can do better than to try and waste my time 

Chorus  
      C          F              G                     C
I'm a Texas born bonafide hell- -raiser and I do as I please 
       F                   G                                   C
Gonna' lay around 'til the sun goes down in this warm southern breeze 
C                 F                G                  C
Hey if ya' wanna' pass me a Corona I got the salt and lime 
    F                G                            G       C
Got nowhere else I'd rather be, I'm just livin on Buffett Time 

Verse II 
C                      F
Some folks say I got a bad attitude 
     C                          F
I've always been one to sing my own kinda tune 
C               G
I don't do what every one expects of me 
C                    F
I ramble around from town to town 
C                       F
When it's time to leave I ain't wearin' a frown 
C               G          C
Pack up my gui- -tar and I leave 
        C                      F
Well if you don't like me then that's your loss 
    C                    F
But over my life I'm the one that's boss 
  C                G                     C
I try to do what I think is right at the time 
          C                F    
I'm gonna be myself 'cause that's who I am 
       C                         F
And if you don't like it I don't give a damn 
C                      G                         C
Like that ol' song I'm gonna let my little light shine
