Magnum P.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I should get the
Hell out of here real soon
Before I get stranded
With all of my loved ones
Sittin' round me
Don't wanna get myself stuck with
Everyone that makes me happy
I'm just hoping that this will someday work out
Just don't wanna wait too long
Hope you like what i've got
Cause I don't know if I do
Listen in, I don't know how else to put this but i've
Got a lot of sins




Trying to relieve myself through song and song
Just tellin you everything I did wrong

the part where he is driving the Ferrari from the grass to road, is ICONIC!

@leftcoaster67

My friend and I were in his uncle's BMW. We were talking about that scene. We drove up to a boulevard. And he did the same thing (more mud less grass). It was hilarious.

@TheJimmymunce

The reason that scene exists was they could not get the Ferrari to spin its wheels on the road surface. So they thought that if they dropped the clutch on the dirt then pavement then fishtailed the wheels would continue to spin when it hit the road. Sadly it was not as fast as it looked.

Hughes MD 500 is iconic as well when he's on the helicopter.
