Sailor & The Sea

(专辑： Ridin' High... Again - 2019)

I stand by the ocean, facing the wind
Makes me wonder what's out there
On the horizon
It makes me want for a sailboat
To take a ride with an old friend
Yeah, we go where the wind blows
I wanna go there again with him

Yeah, I knew a sailor, he was one hell of a guy
He say in case I die
Pour one for the ladies, pour one for my wife
They'd laugh, they'd all laugh
With a twinkle in his eye and say
Here's one for all the money
Here's one for you, here's one for me
Here's one for all the sailors and the sea

Red morning sunshine
What today, what you think?
Well, c'mon girls, it'll be fine
It's just a kiss and a wink
In his last wild ride
You either sail or you sink
Either way, it's a good time
So won't you put some rocks in my drink

Yeah, I knew a sailor, he was one hell of a guy
Said we might live forever, we might not, but we might
So here's one for the ladies, and one for my wife
They'd laugh, they'd all laugh
With a twinkle in his eye and say
Here's one for all the money
Here's one for you, one for me
Then he'd pour one for the sailor and the sea

I've seen the world round
Under up down flat
He said, I'm getting old now
You better get okay with that
Besides old sailors don't die
Ain't that what they say
You see but one night there's a red sky
And it's anchors away

Yeah, I knew a sailor, he was one hell of a guy
He said we don't live forever, Jack
So on the day that I die
Pour one for the ladies, pour one for my wife
Right now he's laughing and laughs one more time tonight
Here's one for all that money
One for you, here's one for me
Let's all have one, that old sailor and the sea

I love you
Yeah, I need you, babe
Yeah, I'll hold you, babe
This goes out to my grandad

Everybody's gotta have heroes
I miss mine
Here's to that old sailor and the sea...
