Thanks for posting this...One of my favorite songs from JB...And yes, if you ever go to Capt. Tony's "the words the old man said" are actually on the dingy wall in the mens room. I've been to Capt Tony's at least 10 times, I always stop in for a drink when I'm in Key West. If I live half the life Capt. Tony lived I would have a very rich life, I tell you, the man knew how to live life to the fullest...RIP Capt. Tony, you weren't cheated out of anything...
I went to China this Summer with an orginazation called People to People Stuident Ambassitors and I'm going to travel the world with them one peace at a time. Only one Country at a time. And I didn't see all of China
The story is a tribute to Captain Tony. Tony and Hemmingway were good friends and spent much of their time in Captain Tony's bar. Much of the song is based in true exploits that the Captain did in his 92 years.
Thank you for your services man. If there is anyone who proves no matter what you do there is still so much more that can be accomplished in life it is soldiers like yourself!

This is the first time I've heard this song that wasn't the live version. I could never find it for some reason.

I crossed the bridge on the river Kwai
I stood next to the lion head in Singapore
I climbed a pyramid in Egypt
I floated down the canals of Venice
I played a part in ending the Cold War
I helped liberate a country from tyranny
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

@sconto1 I never made it to the far East, but I did eat a mango in Paris, and I did help keep the Cold War cold.
