Shoreline Miles

I've been in one place for too long it's true
Ever since that fateful day last June
When I lost her for good, all because of a boat
I thought she'd like to sail, but she just wasn't made to float

I've been logging shoreline miles, walking the beach
Tryin' to find a new love since I lost mine at sea
Shoreline miles, it's safer on foot
Now I'm a wandering soul who just can't stay put

The wind picked up, and we got cold and wet
She got seasick, the boom hit her in the head
Then I ran it aground, had to call the coast guard
Had to pay for the tow with her credit card

I've been logging shoreline miles, walking the beach
Tryin' to find a new love since I lost mine at sea
Shoreline miles, it's safer on foot
Now I'm a wandering soul who just can't stay put

Sold the boat last fall, the winter's been so long
Thought she'd take me back, but I couldn't have been more wrong
I thought I'd miss her, but I miss the boat even more
Now spring is here and I've taken to the shore

I learned my lesson: never sail on a date
She called it off in a storm, so it must've been fate
A bad decision, one I'll never make again
Now I'm a land lover, hallelujia, amen

I've been logging shoreline miles, walking the beach
Tryin' to find a new love since I lost mine at sea
Shoreline miles, it's safer on foot
Now I'm a wandering soul who just can't stay put
