Lyrics

He was captain of a small ship
And he called her the "Queen"
Jackson was an old man
The skipper of the sea
And he dreams about one day
An island he'll find
Out lost in the ocean
Just passing in time
And he rather be sailin', sailin' away
And he rather be sailin', sailin' away
And he rather be sailin'
And he's been to places (and he's been to places)
And he knows them quite well (and he knows them quite well)
But those are just traces
Of stories to tell
And he loves his lady
And his whiskey is sweet
But sailin's his first love
It keeps him so free
And he rather be sailin', sailin' away
And he rather be sailin', sailin' away
And he rather be sailin'
And he goes where the wind blows
And he flows with the tide
He's just going nowhere
Just going for the ride
And a cigarette for company
And a shot for good times
A sunset to follow
Into the night
And he rather be sailin', sailin' away
And he rather be sailin', sailin' away
And he rather be sailin' away
