Landlocked Sailor

I was a runaway hurricane Splashing up and down the beach Six years old in the middle of Kansas But I conquered the sea And I'll never forget the feeling When dad let me drive the boat I was wild and free til it was time to leave But the whole way home I closed my eyes And I was on a boat somewhere With the sun glaring off the water And the salt in my hair On a course for somewhere beautiful My sails with the breeze I was raised a landlocked sailor With some big dreams Now I'm all grown up But my imagination hasn't changed at all I want to sail to unknown islands And distant ports of call I've had a few adventures But I'd like to pick up my pace In the meantime, in my mind I drift away I close my eyes And I'm on a boat somewhere With the sun glaring off the water And the salt in my hair On a course for somewhere beautiful My sails with the breeze But I'm a landlocked sailor So for now they're only dreams And I know that I could get there I could leave it all behind Raise my anchor, and sail away But it's not my time No it's alright being landlocked Cuz I've got work to do But one thing I know for sure Is someday when my work is through I'll open up my eyes On a boat somewhere With the sun glaring off the water And the salt in my hair On a course for somewhere beautiful My sails with the breeze But a landlocked sailor Is what I'm proud to be I'm a landlocked sailor So for now they're only dreams
