Now what do they do if I just sailed away

Who the hell really compelled me to leave today

Runnin' low on stories is what made it a ball

What would they do if made no landfall



I lived half my life in eight by five room

Just cruisin' to the sound of the big diesel boom

It's not close quarters that would make me snap

It's just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap



Sail away for a month at a time,

Sail away I've got to recharge mind

Then you'll find me back at it again



Oh I love the smell of fresh snapper fried lite

What'd you say, pouilly fuisse could round out the night

The mid morning watch is the best time to look

Oh what would they do if I wrote the big book



`Cause I've seen incredible things in my year

Somedays were laughter, others were tears

If I had it all to do over again

I'd just get myself drunk and I'd jump right back in



Sail away, that's the way I survive

Sail away, that's just no shuck and jive

It just makes my whole life come alive



The wind whistled threw the cool rigging at night

Crazy crowds boogie to the sound and the lights

down in he's just havin' a ball

What would he do on another landfall

What would they do if I made no landfall

Oh what would they do if I flew to Nepal

What would I do if I met Lucille Ball

Tryin' to make a little sense of it all

Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all
