19: God Don’t Own A Car - Jimmy Buffett Info

Notices

Before the Beach is a compilation album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It includes the entire original releases of his first two albums, Down to Earth and High Cumberland Jubilee except for "The Christian?" and "Ain't He a Genius" (from Down to Earth) but with the addition of "High Cumberland Dilemma" which was recorded for but not included on the original High Cumberland Jubilee album. Before the Beach was released in May 1993 on MCA 10823 and was the first compact disc of material from Down to Earth and High Cumberland Jubilee. It is the only collection of those albums material to appear on the music charts, reaching #169 on the Billboard 200 in 1993.

The songs were recorded before he had ever been to Key West and they do not contain any of the Carribean flavor that his later recordings would have. The songs are written mostly in the country-rock vein. There is no mention of later Buffett themes like sailing, the beach or partying. The album gets stronger as it plays on and it shows the progress Mr. Buffett was making as a performer.

The Hangout Gang
By: Jimmy Buffett & Buzz Cason
Originally from the 1971 Album: High Cumberland Jubilee

Lyrics:

I have been out wanderin’
I have traveled far
One conclusion I have made
Is God don’t own a car

He don’t wear no fancy clothes
He’d rather take the bus
He would pay air tourist fare
So He could sit with us

He don’t have no tambourine
Guitar or slide trombone
The music we make here on Earth
But the words are His own

And when we finally reach His home
And walk among the stars
He’ll join our band then we’ll understand
Why God don’t own a car
