Treat her like a lady   By: jimmy buffett, david loggins   1979   Chorus:   Some of us sailors call her home   She's big and she's strong and she's mighty   Some of us sailors call her our own   Guess that's the reason why   I treat her like a lady   Just treat her like a lady      Now I don't like the sound of the ground movin' 'round   Or winds spinnin' out of control   California earthquakes, only seem to make a' me   Shake, rattle, and roll      I've been too long on the mainland   Hotels, rental cars, and phones   Time to cast 'em aside, catch the very next tide   And go back, where I belong      Chorus:   Some of us sailors call her home   She's big and she's strong and she's mighty   Some of us sailors call her our own   Guess that's the reason why   I treat her like a lady   Treat her like a lady      Now great whales travel the rhumb lines   Dodging those deadly harpoons   Spawning their young, as their ancestors done   In the depths of her hidden lagoons      There're times I find myself with them   And times I feel as they do   We're on a similar course, it's just a different source   But I'm in danger of extinction too      Chorus:   Some of us sailors call her home   She's big and she's strong and she's mighty   Some of us sailors call her our own   Guess that's the reason why   I treat her like a lady   Treat her like a lady   Treat her like a lady   Treat her like a lady      And miss her when I'm gone      (lady, lady) treat her like a lady   (lady, lady) treat her like a lady   (lady, lady) got to treat her like a lady   (lady, lady) treat her like a lady   Lady, lady   Lady, lady   Lady, lady      Notes -   Electric guitar: keith sykes   Background vocals: the embarrasing stains (james taylor, alex taylor,   Hugh taylor), deborah mccoll, dave loggins
