Sailing Away
Lyrics
Here I go down memory lane
I'm always sinking with the ship that way
But every time I lay my eyes on that hull
I slip to the bottom and I don't need nothing
And when you don't need nothing
It's a certain type of game you play
I don't need a home
Don't need a lover
No friends around me
To support each other
And now I'm sailing away
I learn from the best
How to cut the rest
And then I'll take what I get
And won't want for anything
And now I'm sailing away
I don't need a home
Don't need a lover
I'll be out on my own
Come hell or high water
One of my girls she's living the dream
Out in a cabin for a dollar a day
And cause that's the way she has to have it
I'll send her my letters a candle and a jacket
And the other's on the river she'll be out there till
Her dying day
And cause that's the way she has to have it
I'll skip each stone I won't keep it just to have it
And now I'm sailing away
I learn from the best
How to cut the rest
And then I'll take what I get
And won't want for anything
And now I'm sailing away
I don't need a home
Don't need a lover
I'll be out on my own
Come hell or high water
Here I go down memory lane
I'm always sinking with the ship that way
But every time I lay eyes on that hull
I slip to the bottom and I don't need nothing
