Royal Republic - Sailing Man lyrics

Oh captain, my captain, time to escape
‘Cause, I’m done wasting away
There’s always a someone who
Wants you to stay but why? Oh, why?
You command me to listen, you beg me to wait
But, I keep drifting away
‘Cause, I know you’ll make sense
If I let you explain

I am the reason for this treason but
It ain’t no fault of mine
Forgiving and forgetting the line
Is very fine

Baby I am what I am
I’m gonna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me down
Baby, you can’t understand
I wanna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me now, no

Oh captain, my captain, take me away
‘Cause, I’m getting wasted again
I know how you feel so
Get on with your grieving
You better believe it, I’m leaving
My mind is a blister, Jack with a twist yeah
Nobody taught me to stop
Relieve me the pressure ‘cause I’m gonna drop


I don’t like it, I don’t like it
I’ve got a feeling that it's good
And I don’t like it
I can’t stand it, I don’t like it
I just don’t give a damn

I'm gonna be a sailing man!
