Smooth Sailing

Well I'm a cheat, and I'm a liar I'm a low-down dirty shame Back on the bread line for the millionth time And I'm the only one to blame Well I guess I should have seen it coming It was a written as clear as day I'm heading south to the sun with a bottle of rum And Imma drink till I feel okay Give me smooth sailing, give me open roads Let me know the feeling of sand under my toes Let me play in a band playing gigs in the sand Where you don't need too many clothes Give me smooth sailing, give me open roads Well I burned one too many bridges Then set the whole damn river aflame And I've been bumming around this one horse town Without a penny to my name But I still got my six string And won a ticket down to Cayman Bay So my bag is packed and even looking back No one's asking me to stay Give me smooth sailing, give me open roads Let me know the feeling of sand under my toes Let me play in a band playing gigs in the sand Where you don't need too many clothes Give me smooth sailing, give me open roads Now I'm not saying I'm any better than the rest of you In fact I'm a jerk and I'm allergic to work So I beg and borrow just to get through But I do have a certain charm That I'm quick to employ See my philosophy is that life should be required to enjoy Give me smooth sailing, give me open roads Let me know the feeling of sand under my toes Let me play in a band playing gigs in the sand Where you don't need too many clothes Give me smooth sailing, give me open roads Give me smooth sailing, give me open roads
