| Song | Sending the Old Man Home |
| Artist | Jimmy Buffett |
| Album | Volcano |
| Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett Music：Jimmy Buffett | |
| They're sendin' the old man home | |
| Back where the buffalo roam | |
| Out in the Pacific, they say he was the best | |
| Now he's in his 'civies', headin' home like all the rest | |
| He'll never forget Rosa Lee | |
| Or sleepless nights he fought upon the sea | |
| He'll only have the memories | |
| Or great books by James Jones | |
| 'Cause they're sendin' the old man home | |
| Faraway (Faraway) | |
| Faraway (Faraway) | |
| Another life so very far away | |
| They'll tear down the officers clubs | |
| And write off the overdue subs | |
| So let's drink to their memories | |
| Our heroes and our pals | |
| To those crazy Navy flyers | |
| To those swell Hawaiian gals | |
| The sailors will dance in the street | |
| Then they'll mothball the whole damn fleet | |
| We'll only have the picture books | |
| Of land, and sea, and foam | |
| 'Cause they're sendin' the old man home | |
| He'll only have his memories | |
| Or great books by James Jones | |
| 'Cause they're sendin' the old man home | |
