Jim's Note: I started writing this song on Monday, November 20, 2000. In my original notes to this song I wrote:

"I was in the city today, walking along Rundle Street, and just as I was passing a travel shop, a couple of women walking in the opposite direction, also passed directly in front of the business. One of the women said to the other, 'Let’s go to Buenos Aires’, and I immediately thought to myself – that sounds like a song title to me."

Clearly the theme of the song is about living in the moment, enjoying life to the full, taking risks, and being truly alive.

The song doesn't have a chord chart to go with it, because I haven't written a melody for it yet!

 Let’s Go to Buenos Aires

Chord Chart currently not available

Let’s Go to Buenos Aires, it’s time to lose control,
Or let’s go up to Rio, and dig ourselves a hole
That we cannot escape from, let’s lay it on the line,
Let’s stop and smell the roses, leave the rat race far behind.

Let’s go to Acapulco, and lay out in the sun,
Let’s go and taste the night life, come on let’s have some fun.
You can rub my skin with peaches, while I cover you with cream,
To hell with chasing deadlines, it’s time to live the dream.

CHORUS
Let’s go to Buenos Aires, check out the local scene,
Then fly on up to Vegas, we can detour in between.
We can do it all on credit, leave the bankers to their fate,
Let’s pack our bags this evening, tomorrow is too late!

Let’s go all over Europe, we can do it all on bikes,
We’ll spend a week in Amsterdam, smoke dope along the dykes.
We’ll sail Aegean islands, swim naked in the sea,
Tomorrow we may have to work, but today, come on, be free.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Let’s go to old Pamplona, for the running of the bulls,
Our friends will say we’re crazy, but they may be the fools.
There’s more to life than living, this endless nine to five,
Throw caution out the window, for once, let’s be alive!
