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
