Not me,,,,,,,
Jimmy Buffett Volcano
Now I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Let me say now I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Ground she’s movin’ under me
Tidal waves out on the sea
Sulfur smoke up in the sky
Pretty soon we learn to fly
Let me hear ya now I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Now my girl quickly say to me
Mon you better watch your feet
Lava come down soft and hot
You better lava me now or lava me not
Let me say now I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
No time to count what I’m worth
‘Cause I just left the planet earth
Where I go I hope there’s rum
Not to worry soon come
Now I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
One more now I don’t know (ah he don’t know)
I don’t know (he don’t know, mon)
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
But I don’t want to land in New York City
Don’t want to land in Mexico (no no no)
Don’t want to land on no Three Mile Island
Don’t want to see my skin aglow (no no no)
Don’t want to land in Commanche Sky Park
Or in Nashville, Tennessee (no no no)
Don’t want to land in no San Juan airport
Or the Yukon Territory (no no no)
Don’t want to land no San Diego
Don’t want to land in no Buzzards Bay (no no no)
Don’t want to land on no Ayatollah
I got nothing more to say
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Just a one more, I don’t know (he don’t know)
I don’t know (I don’t know, man)
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Early in his career, Utley worked with the house band for Atlantic Records in Miami, Florida’s Criteria Studios backing performers such as Aretha Franklin, Jerry Jeff Walker, and the Allman Brothers and in California playing with Rita Coolidge and Kris Kristofferson.
Jerry Jeff Walker recruited Utley to play keyboard instruments on Buffett’s first major label album, A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean, in 1973. Utley continued to work with other performers in the mid-1970s while appearing on Buffett’s subsequent albums until Buffett’s 1977 breakout Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes when he joined the Coral Reefer Band full-time.
Utley has title credit on several albums, the first being an instrumental record with fellow Coral Reefer Band member Robert Greenidge titled Mad Music.
Utley has gone on to produce or co-produce a number of Buffett albums beginning with One Particular Harbour in 1983. He has toured with the Coral Reefers ever since.
During the song “Volcano,” Utley’s name is mentioned. Right before the first solo, Jimmy Buffett says “Mr. Utley.” This leads into the solo.
