Sailing

(album: Reunion - 1981)

Well, there I am in Mexico, man
I'm sitting on a big hot rock with the blues
Watching this sailboat drive by, and I'm wondering, "Where's mine?"
Hell, I know where there's ship in a bottle
I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah

I think I'm gonna go off sailing
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
'Cause I've been on dry land too long

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
And I been on dry land too long

Roll on

Leeches, land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt
Land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt
Yeah, and I've been on dry land too long

Ship in a bottle

Sail on, sail on

Let's carry on

I need a ship in a bottle
