Just a girl who loves Jimmy Buffett and wants to share his music, stories and lifestyle with the world!
Wonder Why We Ever Go Home is a song that Jimmy Buffett wrote in the seventies, having had a couple twists and turns and reinventions along the way, before making its final form appearance on his noteworthy 1977 album, commonly referred to as “Changes” to his fans. It is soft and reflective, soulful and sad, and seems to capture the deeper parts of Jimmy’s songwriting talents.
I bet if you asked a group of people about this song, casual Jimmy Buffett fans, or even some more serious ones, the majority would tell you that Jimmy Buffett wrote this song. It would make sense, after all Jimmy put in on an album in the mid-seventies and has been singing it ever sense, it fits his lifestyle and his brand and some of his early life choices… but that majority of people would find out that this lovely gem of a song was written by Steve Goodman.
