Jimmy Buffett - Take Another Road (Official Music Video)

[@debraacosta8348]

I still can’t believe that he’s gone just breaks my heart. 😢

[@dpm12]

I like Jimmy Buffett's silly party tunes as much as anyone, but it's the songs where he tells a story (like this) that are his best.

[@amyjerome7112]

This song has been going through my head all day! Well worth the ear worm. Still one of my favorites

[@brucewayne3602]

absolutely ... JB has no bounds !!!

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

I do not know another artist with such a huge repertoire. He is truly amazing. I am glad my first real concert was him in Charlotte.

[@danarcotta1283]

And you never hear these great songs on the radio. Most people have no idea as to what a great serious songwriter that he is. All they know is margaritaville

[@stevewise2932]

Absolutely!! What a great story teller.

[@MattSpradlin1]

Flashback 1993: I remember having to drive around with this song to get my son to go to sleep from the time he was 6 months to almost a year old....then, when I lost him in 2010, this is all that kept me going the day of his funeral....just another way JB has touched so many lives, one way or another.

[@aaronberg186]

Very sorry for your loss Matt Spradlin.

[@berthonpowell7366]

Sorry for your loss😢

[@nnahler]

So sorry to hear that, we are all mourning this weekend with the loss of JB. I hope JB is singing this for your son up wherever we go!

[@mollybrown-yx9zt]

Deepest sympathies. So glad Jimmys music helped you through and continues to.

[@DavidB45Mustard]

Rest in Peace Jimmy Buffett. Thanks for the decades of great music

[@tomdalfonzo9959]

To me, this is Jimmy Buffet's best song. This was actually played at Dale Earnhardt's memorial service.

[@1996ValvolineT-Bird]

He played it live days after his death, which he hardly ever plays this song live. It was a touching tribute from one legend to another.

[@bobbygans1893]

possibly my fave also

[@Mr.NoName1972]

I agree. This masterpiece should have been a #1 Billboard Hot 100 and #1 Billboard country smash in 1989. Hit #18 on the Billboard A/C charts.

[@tomdalfonzo9959]

@@Mr.NoName1972 It definitely should've charted higher than Margaritaville did.

[@bonniemccarthy1173]

Thank you for letting me take another road, to another time when I couldn’t physically just go. Your music will always help me breathe in, breathe out and move on. I hope the seas are calm, the beers are cold and your watch says Now. 💔 You will be missed but so many will still seek refuge in your music.

[@wandaking1632]

Wow, what a great song!!

This song didn't get the attention it deserved. This should be in the group of the 'Buffett Classics' that he plays every show.

Another great song of Jimmy Buffett 😊😅😢🎉😂❤

Me too

[@FlanylShirtman]

I listened to this song and read the story countless times in high school back when both were new. Never saw the video or even knew it existed until today. Except for the homeless part, that was the Tully Mars I always saw in my minds eye.

[@TheHungaryJack]

RIP Jimmy. You went to a higher place.

[@1996ValvolineT-Bird]

A song he rarely ever plays live. Days after Dale Earnhardt died he played it live with pictures of Dale on the screens all around the stage in Charlotte. It was beyond words. Perfect song for the moment.

[@karenstanley964]

Legend still rocking NASCAR✝️

[@straitjacket8689]

I can only imgine

[@jddrafts]

I was there for that concert. It’s one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Came hear to watch this, this morning when I heard.

[@ben9046]

I remember Mike Joy talking about that. Dale was a Buffett fan too if I remember correctly

[@snelling770]

I was at that show in Charlotte too. Something I’ll never forget. I hope someone plays this in tribute of Jimmy tonight.

[@berthonpowell7366]

Rest easy by a heavenly beach❤ We will always remember you

Rest in peace Jimmy. Thank you for all the great music.

Jimmy, thank you and miss you. Bubbles Up and we will continue the party!

[@honeysucle10]

God, my Dad passed about 2 years ago, and he always had Jimmy Buffet playing, it was our entire childhood. This is making me cry really hard today.

[@peterpapoutsis496]

I played False Echos from Jimmy the night before my dad passed

[@Warcrimeenthusiast]

He was my dads Favorite too , Now as my Dad struggles with Alzheimers i can put on Jimmy and see his memories flood back if even for alittle while

[@monicalabrie7302]

I resonate with this song so much. I would love to disappear without a trace 💯❤️

[@RingOtaku]

One of the best Jimmy Buffett songs ever. He has something to say and says it in a way where your ears hang on every note.

[@brucewayne3602]

as usual for how many decades ???

[@coreyway9046]

Off to see the Lizard. Just another underrated Jimmy album. A transitional record if you will with the magic he created with his lyrics. He took another road to another time. Thanks to Scott Webb for introducing me to Jimmy. RIP sir.

[@aarons2319]

Quit my job and drove to the Outer Banks. This was my Anthem on the road.

[@CrankyCain_EndoTrubbish]

One of Jimmy's best works. Genuinely an underrated and underappreciated song by both Buffett and fans alike (despite it getting a music video and being featured on a compilation album!) So, it warms my heart seeing the comments value this one.

[@nancywhite5581]

One of my favorites!

[@ATOMICROBOT667]

Long ago I had a dear friend who I scuba dived with, jimmy’s music was always our soundtrack to our adventures! Diving with sharks and exploring reefs all over the planet… wherever we went jimmy was with us… and this song was our anthem. RIP Donovan … see ya in that reef in the great beyond..

[@bigblackhorsestudio2073]

My first time seeing the video. Almost made me cry! I just retired my 30 year old horse who's been my partner for 24 years. I'm so thankful to God for all the years and adventures we've had together but also very sad that part of our relationship is over. He's now old and I'm older. Thankful for hope and comfort in Jesus.

[@peteberwick]

From "Off To See The Lizard "which in my opinion is one of Jimmy's finest and most underated albums. This song and album always puts me right there on the overseas highway on the way to the keys, which is where this great album was the soundtrack to my second trip there. As I type this, Jimmy is recovering from his fall off a stage in Australia and is doing fine..and I can't wait to hear the funny song he writes about that. We love ya Jimmy, be careful out there!

[@ruthlessreid9172]

Saw that tour in South Carolina!

[@arcadia4691]

Key West, awesome place, I went there a long time ago.

[@CrankyCain_EndoTrubbish]

Something about the album makes the selection of songs stand out more both separately and together. All the songs belong together, no less. Everlasting Moon was supposed to be on the album but was shoved onto the box set instead as a live performance. Adding that song would make the album one of the best period imo.

[@thegood9]

Off to see the Lizard was an underrated gem. Some great songs on there...

[@FeatheredLife]

I dedicated this song to my friend Paul Anderson. Love you DLD

[@UnitedWeFall1776]

In my opinion one of the most underrated jimmy buffett songs. Love it.;)

[@jjnb57]

Kenne Barton I think his best song writing was before the early to mid 90s. It wasn't all about coastal life etc. Still good though.

[@fool1shmortal]

Kenne This is a favorite album of mine. Son of a Son of a Sailor and Barometer Soup were the other favorites. This was a very 80s one. I wish they had played these on Casey Kasum's show back then. I don't think he was ever on SNL. He must have had lousy manager, then, unless he was managing his band, himself.

[@gooberwench]

I often sing this one to myself when I want peace of mind. :) It's a great tune, always part of my life.

[@simlay42]

Amen... but you have to be a true romantic for it to make a true impact , me thinks!

[@MrArcadia2009]

Ttly picking up what you're putting down. Good on ya.

Probably the best song off of Off To See The Lizard. Jimmy’s music was the soundtrack to so much of my life and his memory will always be a blessing for me. RIP

I've been a HUGE Buffett fan since his very early days--BEFORE Margaritaville even, in the middle-late 1970's. All the guys & gals in our crowd used to get high & sing "why don't we get drunk and screw" 🤪...This is definitely one of his best songs.

[@fionacopeland7855]

I love thing song by Jimmy Buffet. I think the song to me means sometimes you need to let go of things of the past or you people you really love or a town or city or maybe you need to start fresh for your own good and get away from your bad past and mistakes. This is a really emotional song that is quite sad.

Going to Keyes soon. Hear it's changed so much since the video was made.

[@sachabot]

Love how Jimmy can take his songs from over the years and tie them all linto a song, a story, a novel. His books are an inspiration. They take true Parrotheads through a mysterical ride of song and sudo-reality. It's fiction tied into the reality of his "get away" songs. Genius at work. Sing on Jimmy!!
