Song meaning of Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season by Jimmy Buffett

Ah, "Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season" by the one and only Jimmy Buffett, a man who knows a thing or two about kicking back and sipping on some tropical drinks. In this song, he starts off by casually mentioning that there's a storm brewing in the Gulf Stream, but who cares? He's too busy snoozing in his hammock, waking up way past noon like the true champion of laziness that he is. But hey, even a professional beach bum like Jimmy needs a pick-me-up, so he stumbles over to the bar for a good ol' Bloody Mary. Because nothing says "I'm ready to take on a hurricane" like a slightly buzzed singer-songwriter. Moving along, our hero starts rambling about a peculiar gray Sunday on A1A, and lo and behold, his tiredness magically transforms into inspiration. That's right, folks, only Jimmy Buffett can turn a sleepy stroll into a song. And just when you thought he might actually do something productive, he heads home, sits on his beach, and comes up with this very song, probably while sipping on another exotic cocktail. As the wind picks up and the ocean gets all wild and frothy, Jimmy decides it's time to shut the shutters and retreat indoors like any self-respecting Floridian. But fear not, my friends, because in a week's time, Mr. Margaritaville will be jetting off to gay Paris (that's Paris, France for those less cultured) on a mighty long airplane ride. And how does he prepare for such a journey? That's right, by getting cleansed out, of course! Because there's nothing like a bout of gastrointestinal cleansing to make a long flight enjoyable. So, there you have it, folks: Jimmy Buffett, the man who can snooze through a hurricane, write a song while walking, and cleanse his insides before embarking on international adventures. Truly a Marvel-ous man of leisure!
