Lyrics

Sail on down the line 'Bout a half a mile or so And I don't really wanna know Where you're going Maybe once or twice, you see Time after time I tried to To hold on to what we got But now you're goin' And I don't mind about The things you're gonna say, Lord I gave all my money and my time I know it's a shame But I'm giving you back your name Yeah, yeah Guess I'll be on my way I won't be back to stay I guess I'll move along I'm looking for a good time Sail on down the line Ain't it funny how the time can go Friends say they told me so But it doesn't matter It was plain to see that A small town boy like me Just wasn't your cup of tea I was wishful thinkin' I gave you my heart And I tried to make you happy And you gave me nothin' in return You know, it ain't so hard to say "Would you please just go away" Yeah, yeah I've thrown away the blues I'm tired of being used I want everyone to know I'm a-lookin' for a good time Good time, yeah Whoa, sail on, honey Good times never felt so good Sail on, honey Good times never felt so good Sail on, sugar Good times never felt so good Sail on
