Love In Decline 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, Will Jennings 

1984 

Left one in the drizzlin' rain 

Found one on the mornin' plane 

Layin' out his well-known line 

Bought her some gin - that did her in 

Now their makin' love behind the occupied sing 



Chorus: 

Just a livin' example of love in decline 

Lookin' so hard and so little time 

Goin' ninety to nothin' and flyin' stone blind 

Just a livin' example of love in decline 



Miyama hotel disco bar 

He asks if she's a movie star 

Her eyes light up they're going far 

No time for a room - it happened too soon 

Now they're makin' love in her rent-a-car 



Chorus: 

That's just another example of love in decline 

Lookin' so hard and so little time 

Goin' ninety to nothin' and flyin' stone blind 

Just a livin' example of love in decline 



Red-eyed on a midnight flight 

He's a little tired but she looks just right 

He asks for dark so she hits the light 

Engines whine - seats recline 

They're makin' love till the mornin' light 



Chorus: 

Just a shinin' example of love in decline 

Lookin' so hard and so little time 

Goin' ninety to nothin' and flyin' stone blind 

Just a livin' example of love in decline 



Just a livin' example of love in decline 

Just a livin' example of love in decline
