Landfall

Now what do they do if I just sailed away Who the hell really compelled me to leave today Runnin' low on stories of what made it a ball What would they do if made no landfall I live 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 And you'll find me back at it again Oh I love the smell of fresh snapper fried light What you say, pouilly fuisse to 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 years Somedays were laughter and 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 And it makes my whole life come alive The wind whistles through the cold rigging at night Crazy crowds boogie to the sound and the lights Bum's down in Quepos he's just havin' a ball What would he do on another landfall Yeah what would they do if I made no landfall Oh what would I do if I got so sick of it all Yeah what would I do if I had another big fall I'm tryin' to make a little sense of it all Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all
