Ramona Falls - Salt Sack Lyrics

You pushed me out to sea today
And hoped to watch me drown
All I had was my bag
You thought it would weigh me down

Then as I drifted out, I floated out
Until the raft was sinking
I gasped for air, I coughed salt water
I couldn't help but drink in

I jumped ship, you couldn't see me
You thought I had breathed my last
I started swimmin' towards the shore
From which I had been cast

I struggled bag in tow, was sure that I would die
But I found a strength, a will, a hate,
I couldn't pacify

Then I made it back, I fought back
Was almost to your shore
You held something in your hands for me
A braided crown of thorns

Then I turned around
I swam away
Never to look back
I'm no martyr fool
And I'm no salt sack
