Royal Republic – Sailing Man lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh captain, my captain, time to escape
‘Cause I’m done wasting away
There’s always a someone who wants you to stay
But why? Oh, why?
You command me to listen, you beg me to wait
But I keep drifting away
‘Cause I know you’ll make sense if I let you explain
[Pre-Chorus]
I am the reason for this treason but it ain’t no fault of mine
Forgiving and forgetting the line is very fine
[Chorus]
Baby I am what I am
I’m gonna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me down
Baby you can’t understand
I wanna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me now, no
[Verse 2]
Oh captain, my captain, take me away
‘Cause I’m getting wasted again
I know how you feel so get on with your grieving
You better believe it, I’m leaving
My mind is a blister, Jack with a twist yeah
Nobody taught me to stop
Relieve me the pressure ‘cause I’m gonna drop
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I don’t like it, I don’t like it
I’ve got a feeling that it's good, and I don’t like it
I can’t stand it, I don’t like it
I just don’t give a damn
[Chorus]
I'm gonna be a sailing man!
Oh captain, my captain, time to escape
‘Cause I’m done wasting away
There’s always a someone who wants you to stay
But why? Oh, why?
You command me to listen, you beg me to wait
But I keep drifting away
‘Cause I know you’ll make sense if I let you explain
[Pre-Chorus]
I am the reason for this treason but it ain’t no fault of mine
Forgiving and forgetting the line is very fine
[Chorus]
Baby I am what I am
I’m gonna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me down
Baby you can’t understand
I wanna be a sailing man away from land
I ain’t got nobody to hold me now, no
[Verse 2]
Oh captain, my captain, take me away
‘Cause I’m getting wasted again
I know how you feel so get on with your grieving
You better believe it, I’m leaving
My mind is a blister, Jack with a twist yeah
Nobody taught me to stop
Relieve me the pressure ‘cause I’m gonna drop
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I don’t like it, I don’t like it
I’ve got a feeling that it's good, and I don’t like it
I can’t stand it, I don’t like it
I just don’t give a damn
[Chorus]
I'm gonna be a sailing man!
