Sailing Away

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

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
